Page 44: Operation Modes
® Operating Basics R&S NGL200/NGM200 Operation Modes Figure 5-11: Output performance graph 5.5 Operation Modes The R&S NGL/NGM operates in three different modes, i.e. the constant voltage (CV), constant current (CC) and constant resistance (CR). The instrument switches automat- ically between CV and CC depending on the connected load. When CR is configured, the instrument is not switched to CR mode automatically, it will operate in CR mode when sinking but source in CV or CC mode.
Page 45 ® Operating Basics R&S NGL200/NGM200 Operation Modes If I reaches I , the instrument switches to CC mode, i.e. the output current remains constant and limited to I even if the load increases. Instead, the output voltage V decreases to almost zero with a short circuit. In CC mode, the font text in the channel display area changes to red.
