Section 3: Pulse Current Measurements
Model 2308 Portable Device Battery/Charger Simulator User’s Manual
Range with pulse current step
Select an appropriate current range for the desired measurements. Four current ranges are
available: 5 A, 500 mA, 50 mA, and 5 mA. Make sure all TLEV values are valid in the selected
current range. There is only one current range for all active steps - each step does not have a
unique current range.
Changing ranges
When changing ranges, the currently active TLEV (trigger level) step values are checked. This
check verifies that the new range maximum setting does not exceed the range (i.e., 5 A for the 5 A
range, 500 mA for the 500 mA range, 50 mA for the 50 mA range, or 5 mA for the 5 mA range). If
just one of the active step TLEV values exceeds the maximum setting for the new current range,
then all step TLEV values are set to 0A.
For example: When changing from the 5 amp current range to the 500 mA range, a TLEV value
greater than 500 mA resets all active trigger level values. Alternatively, if you change from the 5 A
current range to the 500 mA range and no trigger level settings exceed 500 mA, the previous
settings will be used for the 500 mA range.
Programming examples
Pulse current measurements
The following command sequence will return the average of 10 peak pulse current measurements:
Battery channel (#1)
DISP:CHAN 1
‘ Sets active channel - battery.
SENS:CURR:RANG 0.5
‘ Select 500 mA range.
VOLT 15
‘ Set output voltage to 15V.
CURR 0.75
‘ Set current limit to 750mA.
OUTP ON
‘ Turn output on.
SENS:PCUR:SYNC ON
‘ Enable trigger synchronization.
SENS:PCUR:AVER 10
‘ Set average count to 10.
SENS:PCUR:SYNC:TLEV:HUND 0.1
‘ Set trigger level to 100mA for 500 mA trigger level setting.
SENS:PCUR:TIME:AUTO
‘ Set integration times automatically.
SENS:PCUR:MODE HIGH
‘ Configure to measure peak pulse.
SENS:FUNC “PCUR”
‘ Select pulse current function.
READ?
‘ Trigger 10 measurement conversions and
‘ return the average of those 10 conver-
‘ sions. The average of the 10 conversions
‘ is displayed on the front panel. Each of
‘ the ten conversion syncs to the rising
‘ edge.
Charger channel (#2)
DISP:CHAN 2
‘ Sets active channel - charger.
SENS2:CURR:RANG 5
‘ Select 5 A range.
SOUR2:VOLT 15
‘ Set output voltage to 15V.
SOUR2:CURR 0.75
‘ Set current limit to 750 mA.
OUTP2 ON
‘ Turn output on.
SENS2:PCUR:SYNC ON
‘ Enable trigger synchronization.
SENS2:PCUR:AVER 10
‘ Set average count to 10.
SENS2:PCUR:SYNC:TLEV 0.1
‘ Set trigger level to 100 mA.
SENS2:PCUR:TIME:HIGH 600e-3
‘ Set integration high time to 600ms.
NOTE
Change TLEV settings for each step using the
:STEP:TLEVx
command.
