PLZ-5W User’s Manual 91
External Control
Preparation for External Control
The PLZ-5W can be controlled and monitored from an external device.
The BNC connectors (I MON OUT, TRIG OUT) are isolated from the chassis and load input terminals.
Precautions for high-speed load simulations
During high-speed load simulation, do not connect the common terminal of the external device to the ter-
minal of the DUT (the terminal that is connected to the negative (-) input terminal of the PLZ-5W). Attach a
commercially available ferrite core to the wiring between the PLZ-5W and the external device.
Control Functions that can be controlled/monitored Connector
Analog control Controlling the load values of CC, CP, CR, and CV modes using voltage.
Controlling the current to be superimposed on the load values of CC mode
using voltage.
