Battery menu for the battery simulator function
The menus organized under Battery in the main menu allow you to configure the settings for the
battery simulation from the 2281S front panel. The following topics describe the settings that are
available on these interactive screens.
Battery Settings menu for the battery simulator function
You can change the following settings by pressing the
MENU
key, moving focus to the
Settings
icon
under
Battery
menu, and pressing the
Enter
key.
Setting
Description
Model
Choose a battery model from the internal memory to run the battery
simulation. The name of the battery models end with an
.mdl
extension.
Up to nine models can be saved in the internal memory.
Method
Choose the method of the battery simulation.
If you choose
Dynamic
, the Voc and SoC of the simulated battery will
change as the simulation charges and discharges, like a real battery.
If you choose
Static
, the Voc and SoC of the simulated battery will stay the
same.
Voc
Configure the initial battery voltage.
SOC
Configure the initial battery capacity in percentage.
Full V
Configure the end voltage value for charging. The default value is the
maximum Voc value in the battery model
Empty V
Configure the end voltage value for discharging. The default value is
minimum Voc value in the battery model
Resistance Offset
Set the resistance offset, which will increase the resistance value to offset
the resistance caused by connecting wires and other testing equipment.
Battery Protect menu for the battery simulator function
This menu allows you to configure the protection settings.
Setting
Description
Overvoltage Protection
Set the overvoltage protection limit of the source output to restrict the
maximum voltage level that the instrument can source.
Overcurrent Protection
Set the overcurrent protection limit of the source output to restrict the
maximum current level that the instrument can source.
Measure menu for the battery simulator function
The menus organized under Measure in the main menu allow you to select, configure, and perform
measure operations from the 2281S front panel. The following topics describe the settings that are
available on these interactive screens.
