3.6 Constant Resistance (CR) Mode
In this mode, the electronic load approximates a resistor. The current draw is varied by the load according to the input
voltage. The performance of this mode is not as fast as in CC or CV mode. This is because it is a sampled system and
response to changing input takes a nite amount of time.
3.6.1 Congure CR Parameters
There are several parameters that should be set up prior to operating in CR mode. Press
so that it lights up, then press )and to access Setup for CR mode. The setup menu will be shown:
The setup parameters are: Range, High (Voltage limit), and Low (Voltage limit). Use the (arrow keys) key to select each
parameter, and use the numeric keypad to change the value. Press (enter) to conrm the change.
Range This value will also act as a limit the allowed resistance setting value.
High This parameter sets the upper voltage limit for the automatic test mode. If the voltage exceeds
this upper limit during the test, the test will fail.
High This parameter sets the lower voltage limit for the automatic test mode. If the voltage exceeds
this lower limit during the test, the test will fail.
