Functions and Advantages
5 Functions In One Card
- Voltage source
- Current source
- Ammeter
- Voltmeter
- Electronic load
♦ The first and third quadrants are the source: the actual polarity of the output V/I follows the source setting.
♦ The second and fourth quadrants are for load: CC and CV cooperate. When the load is used, the polarity of the load setting is opposite to the source polarity.
Test Various Devices
Capture More Measurement Data
♦ 6-and-a-half-bit digital resolution: the accuracy is equivalent to a 6-and-a-half-bit digital multimeter.
♦ 1 fA/100 nV resolution: excellent sensitivity for setting and measuring.
♦ 1M points/second: Provides high-speed measurement and can quickly set/digitize the rate for any waveform generator/list scanning.

[1] Accuracy calculation example: To test the accuracy of a 600mV range with a 120mV output, the tolerance is:
[2] This instrument has a potentially dangerous high voltage (±210 V) output to the HI / Sense HI / Guard terminals. To prevent electric shock, relevant safety precautions must be taken before powering on. Do not connect the Guard terminal to any output, including shorting it to the chassis ground or output LO, as this will damage the instrument

[9] Output slew rate: Fast, Normal, Slow modes. Users can adjust APFC parameters according to load characteristics to achieve appropriate settling time or stability
[10] Fast mode may exhibit significant output overshoot under different ranges or load conditions. For devices sensitive to overshoot, Normal or Slow mode is recommended
