PEL-60-60-10 - Physical Instruments

The LCD display module of the PEL can be configured to the different measuring combinations.
Press the "Utility/Local" key then the “ENTER” key. Use keys to select the Display Mode, and then press the
"ENTER" key and keys to select the desired function. Press the “ENTER” key to confirm the selection. Press
“CLEAR” key to escape the Display Mode.
“C” Value: 0.0000A
The PEL provides the “C” operand. This is especially useful for battery testing applications that use “C” as the
battery capacity unit. The user can avoid troublesome calculations by monitoring and testing the battery directly.
After the user changes the display combination to V + C, all current values entered and/or measured will be in “C”
automatically.
Press the "Utility/Local" key then the “ENTER” key. Use keys to select the "C" value. Then the "ENTER" key
twice and the desired value and "ENTER" to confirm. Press “CLEAR” to exit the “C” operand mode.
GPIB FUNCTION
The PEL provides the GPIB/SCPI interface control capability. The following are user configurable GPIB
commands:
PRIMARY ADDR: 0 → 31
Primary address for GPIB interface has a range from 0 to 31.
Press the "Utility/Local" key then use the keys to select the GPIB function, then the "ENTER" key. Use
keys to select the PRIMARY ADDR function then use the keys to increase or decrease the GPIB address, then
press the “ENTER” key to confirm the value. The number displayed with the "" annunciated behind it is the
current selected value. Press the “CLEAR” to escape the Primary ADDR mode.
SECONDARY ADDR: 0 → 31
If the secondary addressing mode is activated, then the secondary address should be set and the GPIB addressing
mode would become Primary + Secondary addressing.
Press the "Utility/Local" key then use the keys to select the GPIB function then the "ENTER" key. Use
keys to select the SECONDARY ADDR function then use the keys to increase or decrease the GPIB address,
then press the “ENTER” key to confirm the value. The number displayed with the "" annunciated behind it is the
current selected value. Press the “CLEAR” to escape the Secondary ADDR mode.
ADDRESS MODE:
PRIMARY Only
PRI+SECONDARY
The GPIB interface addressing is able to set two modes for addressing, Primary only and Primary + Secondary
addressing. The GPIB interface communication is available for these two addressing methods.
Press the "Utility/Local" key then use the keys to select the GPIB function then the "ENTER" key. Use
keys to select the ADDRESS MODE then use the keys to select Primary only or Pri+Secondary address and
press “ENTER” to confirm. Press “CLEAR” key to escape the ADDRESS MODE.
EOI CODE:
NULL only
CR only
LF only
CR + LF
In the GPIB communication, the users can define the different End of Interface (EOI) code for each end of the data or
command.
