Constant Power (CW) Mode
In this mode, the electronic load’s power consumption will be in accordance with the programmed value, regardless of the input voltage. The CW mode can be set with front panel keys. The CW mode parameters are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Transient Operation
Transient operation enables the electronic load to periodically switch between two load levels, as might be required for testing power supplies. A power supply's regulation and transient characteristics can be evaluated by monitoring the supply's output voltage under varying combinations of load levels, frequency, and duty cycle.
Transient operation can be turned on and off at the front panel or via PC control using the
Continuous
Generates a repetitive pulse stream that toggles between two load levels and changes the state between value A and value B.
