Measurement using the electronic load function

The KFM2005/KFM2030 is equipped with an electronic load device function that enables measurements to be made while drawing DC load current without having to connect an external electronic load device. The electronic load function of the KFM2005/KFM2030 is integrated in the SOUR sub system and INP sub system.

Example: 

SOUR:CURR:RANG 5A;LEVEL 5A   'Set the electronic load device to 5 A
INP ON   'Turn the input on

 

The configuration of the electronic load function is independent of the measurement functions denoted as <meter_fn>. Therefore, the settings are not set to default by the CONF:<meter_fn> command or the MEAS:<meter_fn>? query. However, note that the *RST and *RCL commands set all settings to their default values.
