4.Front Panel Operation
4.1Tour of the Front Panel
The i, iM and NSG 1007 front panels are identical although some of the keys found on the front
panel are only used by i Series or NSG 1007 models. If your unit is an i Series or iM Series,
these keys will act as don’t cares. This chapter provides information on operating the i, iX and iM
Series AC sources from the front panel keyboard.
Before operating the AC source using the front panel, it helps to understand the operation of the
front panel controls. Specifically, the operation of the knob, keyboard and the menu layout are
covered in the next few paragraphs.
4.1.1Front Panel Controls and Indicators
The front panel can be divided in a small number of functional areas:
•
Mains circuit breaker
•
Status Indicator lights
•
Shuttle knob
•
LCD display
•
FUNCTION keypad
•
DATA ENTRY keypad
4.1.2Mains Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker located on the bottom left side of the front panel disconnects the AC source
from the three phase Line input. It will automatically trip when the input current rating of the unit is
exceeded due to some component failure. The contrasting black color and large size throw bar
make it easy to locate in case of an emergency.
4.1.3Status Indicator Lights
Four LED status indicators are located directly above the mains circuit breaker. These LED’s
correspond to the following conditions:
REMOTE
The REMOTE LED indicates that the unit is in remote control
mode. If the IEEE-488 interface is used, this indicator will be lit
whenever the REM line (REMOTE ENABLE) line is asserted by
the IEEE controller. If the RS232C, USB or LAN interface is
used, the REMOTE state can be enabled by the controller using
the SYST:REM command. Any time the REMOTE LED is lit, the
front panel of the i Series unit is disabled. There is no LOCAL
button that allows the user to regain control of the front panel.
This prevents accidental change of settings in ATE applications.
OVERLOAD
The OVERLOAD LED indicates an output overload condition.
This condition can be controlled by setting the current limit value
in the PROGRAM menu. Removing the load using the OUTPUT
ON/OFF button will recover from an overload condition.
