Remote Programming

The electronic load may be remotely programmed from the computer via the IT-E131 isolated communication cable.

Operating Modes

The four modes of operation are:

1:Constant current (CC).

2:Constant voltage (CV).

3:Constant resistance (CR).

4:Constant power (CW)

Constant CurrentCCMode

In this mode, the electronic load will sink a current in accordance with the programmed value regardless of the input voltage. CC mode can be set with front panel keys. The CC mode parameters are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Constant Resistance (CR) Mode

In this mode, the module will sink a current linearly proportional to the input voltage in accordance with the programmed resistance. The CR mode can be set at the front panel. The CR mode parameters are described in the following paragraph.

Constant Voltage (CV) Mode

In this mode, the electronic load will attempt to sink enough current to control the source voltage to the programmed value. The module acts as a shunt voltage regulator when operating in the CV mode. The CV mode can be set at the front panel. The CV mode parameters are described in the following paragraphs.
