Model 2308 Portable Device Battery/Charger Simulator User’s Manual
Section 10: DISPlay and FORMat
This command is ignored if the remote module is connected. Dependent on the revision level of
the firmware, the VFD BRIGHTNESS menu choice may or may not be present in the main menu.
If present, the front-panel menu choices are as follows:
FULL BRIGHTNESS
BRIGHTNESS OFF
1/4 BRIGHTNESS
1/2 BRIGHTNESS
3/4 BRIGHTNESS
DISPlay:DUALvi <b>
Control dual mode
Parameters
<b> =
0 or OFF
Disable dual mode
1 or ON
Enable dual mode
This command is used to enable and disable the front panel DUAL DISPLAY V AND I readings for
both channels. When disabled, the instrument operates with SINGLE DISPLAY V AND I, PULSE
CURRENT, LONG INTEGRATION, or DVM readings displayed for a single channel, as indicated
by the active channel setting (
DISPlay:CHANnel
).
Note that when the unit powers up, the setting is initialized with a zero value (OFF). Saving
(*
SAV
) a setup will not save this setting, and a reset (
*RST
) command will not change this setting.
Using the command to recall (
*RCL
) a setup, may change the setting. If the recall setup has a
channel function set to something other than VOLTage or CURRent then this setting is disabled
(OFF) otherwise the setting is left unchanged.
Enabling Dual V and I mode switches function to VOLTage for each channel unless the function is
already VOLTage or CURRent . Dual V and I will be disabled (set to 0) if you change the function
on either channel to be PCUR, LINT, or DVM (Channel #2 only). The function can be changed by
using the sense function or measure function commands. See the
:FUNCtion
command
(SENSe subsystem in
Section 2
) and
Measurement Commands and Optimizing Measurement
Speed
for more information.
All front-panel controls are enabled.
DISPlay:CHANnel <NRf>
Sets active display channel
Parameters
<NRf> = 1 or 2

This command sets the active channel on the front-panel display. To set the front-panel display to
battery channel active, send a parameter of 1. To set the front-panel display to charger channel

NOTE
