VOLTage? MAX

Overvoltage Protection

The electronic load can also be programmed to turn off its input if the voltage protection
level is reached. This protection feature is implemented the following command:

VOLTage:PROTection
VOLTage:PROTection:STATe ON | OFF

Undervoltage Protection

The electronic load can also be programmed to turn off its input if its input voltage is
lower than the under-voltage protection level. This protection feature is implemented the
following command:

VOLTage:PROTection:UNDer
VOLTage:PROTection:UNDer:STATe ON | OFF

RANSIENTS

Transient operation is used to synchronize input changes with internal or external trigger
signals, and simulate loading conditions with precise control of timing, duration, and
slew. The following transient modes can be generated:

Trigger

Changes to triggered level.

Continuous Generates a repetitive pulse stream that toggles between two load levels.
Pulse Generates an load change that returns to its original state after some time

period.

Toggle

Generates a repetitive pulse stream that toggles between two load levels.
Similar to Continuous mode except that the transient points are controlled
by explicit triggers instead of an internal transient generator.

NOTE : Before turning on transient operation, set the desired mode of operation as well
as all of the parameters associated with transient operation. At *RST all transient
functions are set to OFF.

To program voltage or current triggered levels, you must specify the voltage or current
level that the input will go to once a trigger signal is received. Use the following
commands to set a triggered level:
