4.3.1 Input Connections
1. Prior to connecting the DC input source V
IN
, it is advisable to limit the source current from V
IN
to 10-A
maximum. Make sure V
IN
is initially set to 0 V and connected to J1 as shown in
.
2. Connect a voltmeter V1 at TP1 and TP4 to measure the input voltage.
3. Connect a current meter to A1 to measure the input current.
4.3.2 Output Connections
1. Connect Load to J3 and set Load to constant resistance mode to sink 0 Adc before V
IN
is applied.
2. Connect a voltmeter V2 at TP7 and TP9 to measure the output voltage.
4.3.3 Other Connections
1. When using a fan, ensure air is flowing across the EVM.
2. Connect the ribbon cable from the USB interface adapter to J4.
