Triggered Operation

The electronic load has various triggering modes to allow synchronization with other test equipment or events. Such as: Keypad triggering mode: Press Shift + Trigger to trigger the electronic load.

TTL triggering mode: Send a high pulse with a constant time more than 5m Sec to the trigger terminals in rear panel to trigger the electronic load.

Command triggering mode: Send triggering command to the electronic load via the serial port.

Input Control

Short On/Off

The DC Load can simulate a short circuit at its input by turning the load on with full-scale current. The short circuit can be toggled on/off at the front panel using the Shift + Short keys. Short operation is not influence the operation setting current value , When short operation is on OFF state , the Load reverts back to the original setting state.

The actual value of the electronic short is dependent on the mode and current range that are active when the short is turned on.

In CC, CW and CR mode, the max short-circuit current value is 1.2 times of the current range. In CV mode, short-circuit operation is same as the operation of setting CV to 0V.

NOTE

Turning the Short Test on in CV mode may cause the load to draw so much current that the software current limit is triggered, which may turn the input off. Turning the short circuit on does not affect the programmed settings, and the load input will return to the previously programmed values when the short is turned off.
