options and safety requirements. The remaining chapters in this manual contain instructions for installing, operating,
programming, and calibrating the Electronic Load as follows:
Chapter 2 "Operation Overview": describes all of the Electronic Load’s functions and briefly describes how they can be
controlled locally at the front panel and/or remotely via a GPIB controller.
Chapter 3 "Installation": includes turn-on checkout procedures as well as controller and application
connections.
Chapter 4 "Local Operation": describes in detail how to operate the Electronic Load at the front panel.

Reader Path
If you are a first-time user, start with this manual, paying particular attention to Chapter 2. After installation (Chapter 3),
read Chapter 4 to learn front-panel operation. Programming users should then read Chapter 5 before going to the
Programming Reference Guide. Experienced programming users will probably refer only to the Programming Reference
Guide. The programming guide covers all of the programming details whereas Chapter 5 in this manual gives a few simple
examples to help you get started in writing computer programs.
