FAQ: How can I parallel-program multiple N3300A electronic load mainframes?

To parallel-program multiple N3300A load mainframes, you must first chain the GPIB cables between mainframes. So all the mainframes would be on the GPIB bus but each mainframe would have to have a separate address. Mainframe #1 would be at address 5, mainframe #2 would be at address 6 and so on.

You then have to individually address each module. When you address the first mainframe for example, the command has to also address a specific module in the mainframe. This is done with a channel command.
