Chapter5 Remote Programming Operation
ARRAY 372x Series Electronic Load supports both local operation and remote control. The
previous chapter has introduced how to use the front panel keys and knobs to operate on the load. This
chapter will introduce you to how to program the load from the remote controller. The similarities
between local and remote programming will become apparent as you read this chapter.
The intent of this chapter is to help users quickly become familiar with remote programming
operations. Programming examples given in this chapter use the SCPI commands in their simpliest
form. Please refer to the “ARRAY 372x Series Electronic Load SCPI Programming Guide” for
detailed introduction of all SCPI commands.
5.1 Communication Interface
5.1.1 RS232
RS232 interface is standard. Use the cable shipped with the load to connect the load to a
computer correctly. Select RS232 interface in the MENU, and set the baud rate, parity, data bit, stop
bit, and flow control parameters to be used. Set the same parameters in the software on the computer,
and input the right SCPI command to operate the load.
5.1.2 USB
USB interface is optional. It can be used only when the load has installed USB communication
module and the relevant driver has installed on the computer. Use USB cable to connect the load to a
computer correctly. Select the USB interface in the MENU and input the right SCPI command to
operate the load.
