Verifying Load Regulation
Complete the load regulation test to verify that the output voltage falls within specified limits
when the load current changes, or that the output current falls within specified limits when the
load voltage changes. Each test requires an external load to vary the load voltage or current. Load
Regulation Verification results are dependent upon voltage and current measurement accuracy.
Any failure of the Voltage Measurement Verification or Current Measurement Verification
steps may result in a failure of the Load Regulation Verification steps.
Connect the NI APS-4100 to the Aux Power Input connections for load regulation tests.
