Programmable DC Electronic Loads
8600 Series
The 8600 Series programmable DC electronic
loads provide the performance of modular system
DC electronic loads in a compact benchtop form
factor. With fast transient operation speeds and
high 16-bit measurement resolution, these
standalone DC loads can be used for testing and
evaluating a variety of DC sources such as DC
power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries,
battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays.
The DC loads can operate in constant current
(CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance
(CR), or constant power (CW) mode and be
configured to provide a dynamically changing load
to the DC source with fast load switching times.
Versatile internal, external, and remote triggering
options allow the dynamic load behavior to be
synchronized with other events.
Increase productivity by saving your test
parameters into any one of the 100 memory
areas for quick system recall. All load parameters
such as voltage, current, slew rate, and width
can be set via the front panel or programmed
remotely. The 8600 Series provides standard
USB (USBTMC-compliant), GPIB, or RS-232
serial interfaces for remote communication.
To ensure the reliability of your testing, the 8600
Series provides a power-on system self-test and
numerous protection features: overtemperature
(OTP), overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP),
overpower (OPP), and local/remote reverse
voltage (LRV/RRV) protection.
Special Applications
The 8600 Series provides a built-in battery test
mode to measure the ampere-hour (Ah)
characteristic of a battery and a unique CR-LED
mode to simulate the loading behavior of a
typical LED.
