The following shows a wiring diagram for remote sensing:
Example: A power supply is connected to the DC load with 72.5 cm of 20-gauge solid copper wires.
The constant current i set to 5 A. The power supply's output meter reads 27.0 V and the DC Load's
voltage display reads 26.71 V with a power dissipation of 133.70 W. This is without remote sensing
enabled. With remote sensing turned on and the remote sensing terminals connected to the power
supply output terminals, the DC Load reads 26.98 V and indicates 134.95 W of power dissipation.
This demonstrates that (134.95 - 133.70) = 1.25 W is dissipated in the 20-gauge wires. From the
resistance per unit length of 20-gauge wires, the expected dissipated power at 5 A can be calculated
as 1.21 W.
Saving and Recalling settings
The DC Load provides 25 non-volatile registers to save instrument settings for recall later.
To save the instrument's settings to a register, press Shift + Store. You'll be prompted for a register
number. Enter a number between 1 and 25, then press the Enter key. The settings are saved.
Note that this will overwrite any values previously saved in that register.
To recall the instrument's settings from a register, press Shift + Recall. You'll be prompted for a
register number. Enter a number between 1 and 25, then press the Enter key. The stored settings
are saved. Note that this will overwrite all values currently set in the instrument.
If you try to recall a register with no data in it, you will get a
NO EEPROM DATA error message.
