 Design Features
30 kHz dynamic mode 5 A/μs current rising speed

Transient test function enables the load to periodically switch between Current rising speed is defined as the speed of transition from one setting
two set levels (Level A and Level B). It can be used to test the transient to another. You can set the actual transition time from one setting to another
characteristics of the DUT. The highest frequency can be set to 30 kHz. by changing the current rising speed. Adjustable current rising speed: 0.001
Besides, in the guide interface, you can configure parameters in the A/μs to 5 A/μs.
parameter configuration list and view the configuration diagram at the left of
the configuration list in the real-time manner.

Powerful list operation function Powerful waveform display function

You can generate complex sequences by editing the setting value for each The electronic load provides the waveform display function and supports
step, the dwell time, and slew rate (the slew rate can only be edited in CC the following operations for the waveform, such as pausing the waveform,
mode) to meet the complex test demands. recording the waveform, and capturing the waveform. Therefore, you can
dynamically observe the trend of parameters changes.

Easy-to-use function of file storage and recalling Sound OVP/OCP/OPP/OTP/Reverse Voltage

Protection

When OVP/OCP/OPP/OTP/reverse voltage protection occurs, the load

will immediately turn off the input automatically and stop sinking. Then, a
prompt message is displayed.

The load allows you to save different types of files to the internal and
external memories. You can recall and read them when necessary.

Note[1]: Data measured after 30-second current sinking at the programming value (applicable to the programming accuracy
in CC mode and CV mode).
Note[2]: Gain and zero temperature coefficient within the ranges of 0°C~20°C and 30°C~40°C. For example, at 40°C, the programming accuracy is
±[(0.1%+10°C*100 ppm/°C)*1A+(0.1%+10°C*100 ppm/°C)*4 A] under the following conditions: CC mode, 0-4A range, sink current 1 A.

Note[4]: The input voltage/current value should not be smaller than 10% of the full scale.
Note[5]: The input voltage for the low range in CR mode should be smaller than 8 V.
Note[6]: The programming accuracy in CR mode is also determined by the input voltage accuracy.
Note[7]: Current slew rate: rising slew rate for 10%~90% of the current (0-maximum current).
Note[8]: When the input voltage is greater than 5 V, the maximum current slew rate is 5 A/μs; when the input voltage is greater than 4 V,
the maximum current slew rate is 2.5 A/μs; when the input voltage is greater than 2 V, the maximum current slew rate is 0.1 A/μs.
