Varying this parameter shifts the MPP and the PV curve along the Y axis. Also see diagram to the right. The value
Irradiance
is here used as a factor for the current I
MPP
. The curve itself isn’t permanently re-calculated.

How to configure the PV table
1.
In the function generator menu swipe up to find group
PV table
(PS)
and tap it.
2.
Adjust the four parameters as required for the simulation.
3.
Do not forget to adjust the global limits for voltage and power in the next screen.
The voltage (U) setting is automatically set as high as U
oc
and should not be
lower, but can be higher.
4.
Proceed to the main function screen with
. Contrary to other func-
tions, the DC output is not automatically switched on, because then the function
would immediately. The function is only started when the user switches the DC
output on.

From the main function generator screen, you can go back to the first screen of PV table function and use a formerly locked
Import/Export
action button to save the calculated table to an USB stick. In order to do so, follow the on-screen instructions.
The table can be used to analyze/visualize the values in Excel or similar tools.

How to work with the PV table function
1.
With an appropriate load connected, for example a solar in-
verter, start the function.
2.
Adjust value
Irradiance
with any rotary knob or per touch input
between 100% (default) and 0%, in order to reproduce different
light situations for the simulated panel. The actual values on
the display indicate the working point and can show whether
the simulation has arrived at the MPP or not.
3.
Stop the function run anytime by the stop button or by switch-
ing off the DC output.

FC table function (fuel cell)
3.10.14.1 Preface
The FC table function is used to simulate the characteristics of voltage
and current of a fuel cell. This is achieved by setting up some param-
eters which define points on a typical fuel cell curve, which is then
calculated as XY table and passed to the internal function generator.
The user has to adjust value for four support points. The device will
request to enter them step by step, indicating the actual point on
screen with small graphics. When finished, these points will be used
to calculate the curve.
Generally, following rules apply when setting up those values:
•
U
OC
> U
Point2
> U
Point3
> U
Point4
•
I
SC
> I
Point3
> I
Point2
> I
Point1
•
Values of zero are not accepted
In order to express the rules in a simplified way: the voltage has to decrease from point 1 to point 4, while the current has to
increase. In case the rules are not followed, the device will reject the settings with an error and reset them to 0.
