Functions and Advantages
(5) function in one body
Voltage source
Current source
Ammeter
Voltmeter
Electronic load
- Three quadrants as the source: the actual polarity of output V / I follows the source setting；
- The four quadrants are loads: CC and CV cooperate. When the load is used, the polarity of the load setting is opposite to the source polarity；
