PULSE MODE:

In pulse mode, the eLOAD generates a pulse with a user-defined amplitude and width. The pulse width can be set from
0.05ms to 10seconds.

Typical Application: Testing the transient recovery time for a CV power supply. The recovery time for a power supply is
defined as the time required for the supply to settle to a predefined settling band following a change in load current caused
by an induced transient (pulse).

LCL Operation:

1.

Using the mode hot keys, select operating mode (CC, CV, CR, CP)

2.

Set the MAIN level by holding down the encoder and rotate to change the value or enter numerically.

3.

Set the Transient level by pressing the “PEAK” hot key and edit the value using the encoder or enter manually.

4.

Select PULSE transient operation by pressing the “SINGLE” hot key.

5.

Set the Pulse width by tapping the encoder to edit.

6.

set the Rising and Falling Slew Time by pressing “SLEW,” rotate the encoder to select option, tap the encoder to
edit slew time value and press “ENTER” to confirm value entry.

7.

To begin the Pulse Transient Operation press the “PULSE” hot key (pulse hot key will blink) and then press the
“INPUT” hot key. To activate the Pulse, press the “TRIGGER” hot key.
