Set Foldback Protection; List Function - ITech IT-M3100D Series User Manual

4.4.6 Set foldback protection

This series of instruments has a Foldback protection function, which is used to
turn off the output when the power supply CV / CC is switched, so as to protect
certain DUTs that are sensitive to voltage overshoot and current overshoot.
Foldback protection allows the user to specify a working mode and set the
protection delay time. If the current working mode is switched, the protection will
be triggered from the working loop switch. When the delay time is exhausted,
the protection will be triggered and the output will be turned off.

Delay FOLDBACK
You can specify a time for the FOLDBACK delay, which can make the
instrument ignore the instantaneous change of the operating mode in the
specified delay interval. In most cases, this instantaneous situation is not
considered as a switching state, and there is no need to trigger the foldback
function and disable Output. Once the FOLDBACK delay time is exceeded, the
output is turned off.

4.5 List Function

The user can use list function to create a test program made of multiple steps.
Up to 10 programs (List1 to List10) can be created in the list mode for this series
power supplies. Each list program can be made of up to 100 steps. The user
Enable FOLDBACK function;
The loop is switched to the set working mode and the duration is greater
than the set protection delay time;
[Enter] key to confirm.
•
