– Measurement examples
This section provides a few examples of procedures designed for the combination
of the Autolab PGSTAT and an electronic load.
14.1
– iV/Power curve
The combination of the Control external device command and the Repeat for each
value command provides the backbone for a complete i/V and power curve
measurement, as shown in Figure 40.

14.1.1 – Running the measurement
Using the Control external device and the Record signals (>1 ms) commands, it is
possible to construct a complete procedure to perform an i/V measurement using
the electronic load.
Figure 41 shows an example of a suitable procedure for this type of measurement.
