The above figure shows a system configuration example in which a Charge / Discharge System
Controller PFX2532, Regulated DC Power Supplies PAT40-200T, a Electronic Load PLZ1205W, and a
PLZ2405WB booster 2 units are rack mounted and a PC and a temperature chamber are added.
If you configure a system with the Charge / Discharge System Controller PFX2532, you can connect
charge / discharge units with 72 voltage measurement points and 8 temperature measurement
points or 12 voltage measurement points and 12 temperature measurement points to up to 7
channels (using options
1
).
Synchronized testing with a temperature chamber is also possible. An ESPEC temperature chamber
is connected to the PC through a dedicated USB-RS485 converter

. To perform a synchronized test
with a temperature chamber, you need a VISA

VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) was developed by the VXIplug&play Systems
Alliance. It is the standard specification for measurement instrument connection software. KI-VISA
is a Kikusui-original VISA library that complies with the VXIplug&play VISA specifications. You can
download the latest version of KI-VISA from the Kikusui website (http://www.kikusui.co.jp/en/
