Channel Commands
These commands program the channel selection capability of the electronic load. The CHANnel and
INSTrument commands are equivalent.
CHANnel
This command selects the multiple electronic load channels to which all subsequent channel-specific
commands will be directed. If the specified channel number does not exist or is outside the MIN/MAX
range, an error code is generated (see Chapter 5). Refer to the installation section of the User's Guide
for more information about channel number assignments. Channel 11-18 refers to channel 1-8 of
MDL002 extended mainframe.
