GPIB interface 

The load provides a GPIB interface, whose address can be set in the range from 0 to 30 in the port 

configuration menu. When multiple GPIB devices are connected, the address of the GPIB for each 

device should be unique and cannot be used by other devices on the BUS. The factory default 

address of the load is set to 05. 

USB interface 

User needs to install the corresponding software in PC to communicate with the load. 

5. Earthing Terminal 

Connect the system to the earth in rack mounting. 

 

3.5    Connection on the Front Panel 

The connection terminals of 375XA electronic load on the front panel include the external trigger 

input terminal and the current monitoring output terminal, as shown in Fig. 3-2.
