Default = None Selected Assigns a resistance value for Set 6 from a combination of the available loads as determined by the Load Resistance Values set in the Factory Setup.
SECULIFE ESPRO INPUT ZERO – The Input Zero offset can be slightly different between RF donuts. This parameter accesses an auto-zeroing function that eliminates this offset. Independent settings are saved for the 0.1:1 RF donut and 1:1 RF donut. The user can switch between the two donut types without having to rezero the input. The input needs to be zeroed only when a new donut is introduced. INPUT RANGE – The input range can be scaled to accommodate the signal that is being measured.
SECULIFE ESPRO CUSTOM LOAD SETS. To simplify the selection of commonly used load configurations, 10 custom resistor sets are available. Each resistor set can consist of any combination of the available calibrated loads. The number of loads and load calibration is performed in the Factory Setup Screen.
SECULIFE ESPRO LOAD TABLE – Up to twelve Load Resistance Values (each with a range from 0.0 to 6,500.0 ohms) may be set in the FACTORY SETUP Configuration. These values are used in combination with the Custom Load Sets to determine the Load Configuration Table. These options are available if the Load Selection parameter is set to “Table”. The settings will be the individual calibrated loads followed by the Load Sets.
SECULIFE ESPRO LOAD CALIBRATION SCREEN – The LOAD SETUP MODE allows the user to adjust the calibration of the loads. The Load Setup Screen can be entered using the key while in the SYSTEM SETUP MODE.

SECULIFE ESPRO DFA™ TECHNOLOGY DFA™ Digital Fast Acquisition Technology is a revolutionary new method of measuring ESU generator output power. A high-speed analog to digital converter is used to digitize the high frequency, high power output of the ESU generator. An RF Current Transformer is used to convert the current signal to a voltage signal, which is read by the a/d converter. By digitizing the signal a more accurate, frequency independent measurement can be made.
SECULIFE ESPRO COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL The communication protocol provides a means to completely configure and use the SECULIFE ESPRO from a PC. All of the functions available through the front panel can be performed through the communication ports. All of the measurements made by the SECULIFE ESPRO are accessible as well. This provides for hands free or automated operation of the SECULIFE ESPRO. Communication Ports The SECULIFE ESPRO has two communication ports. Both ports use the same command format.
SECULIFE ESPRO Not all commands require the complexity of the full command path. For example, the Status? command doesn’t have a Node or Subnode. Some commands allow for reading and writing data and some commands are Read Only. To indicate a read function, a question mark (?) is placed at the end of the command path. For example, a write command to change the load resistance to 100.5 ohms would be “CONFigure:LOAD:VALue 100.5”, where indicates a carriage-return.
