Press [ENT] or [ESC] button to exit editing; mode of selected channel; Chart 2.6.1 Constant Current Measurement Mode 2.6.2 Constant Voltage Measurement Mode In constant voltage mode, electronic load will consume enough current to maintain input voltage at setting voltage value.
ET5420A+Programmable DC Electronic Load (Dual Channels) User Manual Chart 2.6.3 Constant Resistance Measurement Mode 2.6.4 Constant Power Measurement Mode In constant power mode, the load consumes a constant power. When input voltage changes, the load will adjust corresponding current to maintain consumed power at setting power value.
ET5420A+Programmable DC Electronic Load (Dual Channels) User Manual Chart 2.6.5 Constant Current-Constant Voltage Measurement Mode 2.6.6 Constant Resistance-Constant Voltage Measurement Mode The constant resistance-constant voltage measurement mode aims to prevent measured source from being damaged due to overcurrent discharge. In this mode, when the source to be tested cannot output enough current to maintain setting resistance, the load will automatically switch from constant resistance mode to constant voltage mode.
