Operating Mode Description

There are three basic operating modes: constant current (CC),
Constant Resistance (CR), and Constant Voltage (CV/CV+CC). All
channels operate using any of the modes. Each mode has a number
of configurable options including slew rate, levels, protection
modes, Go/NoGo and extensive save options.

Constant Current Mode

Background

In Constant Current Mode the load units will sink
the amount of current programmed. Regardless of
the voltage, the current will stay the same. There
are two ranges in CC mode: High and Low. There
are two main modes in CC mode: Static and
Dynamic. Static mode can be used for stability tests
and dynamic mode can be used to test transient
load conditions.

Go/NoGo is supported for both High and Low
range as well as Static and Dynamic mode.
