PULSE MODE:
In pulse mode, the eLoa d genera tes a pulse with a user-defined a mplitude and width. The pulse width ca n be set from 0.5
ms to 10 seconds .
Typica l Applica tion: Testin g the tra nsient recovery time for a CV power supply. The recovery time for a power supply is
defined a s the time required for the supply to settle to a predefined settling ba nd following a cha nge in loa d current
ca used
by a n induced tra nsient (pulse).
LCL Opera tion:
1. Using the mode hot keys, select opera ting mode (CC, CV, CR, CP)
2. Set the MAIN level by holding down the encoder a nd rota te to cha nge the va lue or enter numerica lly.
3. Set the Tra nsient level by pressing the “PEAK” hot key a nd edit the va lue using the encoder or enter ma nually.
4.
Select Continuous transient operation by pressing the “TOGGLE” hot key.
5.
Set the duty cycle and frequency by pressing the “DUTY” and “FREQ” hot keys and tapping the encoder to edit
ea ch. The duty cycle ca n be set from 2% to 98% a nd the frequency from 0.1Hz to 10 KHz. Rota te the encoder
clockwise or counterclockwise to cha nge va lues or enter ma nua lly.
6.
Set the Rising and Falling Slew Time by pressing “SLEW,” rotate the enco der to select option, tap the encoder
to edit slew time value and press “ENTER” to confirm value entry.
7. To begin the continuous tra nsient opera tion, press the “PULSE” hot key (pulse hot key will blink) a nd then press
the “INPUT” hot key to activate the Toggle transient operation.
Note: Pulse Width is measured from 50% of the rising slope to 50% of the falling slope.
