Introduction
This guide is designed to familiarize users of the Keithley Model 2308 Portable
Device Battery/Charger Simulator with the basic operating features available from
the instrument’s front panel and also the GPIB bus. The sequence of operating
instructions reflects the order in which the instrument would be configured for a
typical application. For each operating mode, an example set of bus commands is
provided. While the SCPI command strings are generic, the exact programming
syntax will depend on the test program language.

Performance features
• The Model 2308 is a specialized power supply that has a very fast recovery
to large, near instantaneous load current transitions. Conventional power
supplies do not have this capability. The Model 2308 is designed
specifically to respond to large load changes and very short pulsed loads
with small transient voltage drop and a very fast recovery time. Typical
devices that have these types of characteristic loads are mobile phones,
