Constant Voltage (CV) Mode
In CV mode, the load will sink enough current to control the input voltage to the set
value. The load acts as a shunt voltage regulator when operating in CV mode, as
shown in Figure 2-5.

Operation Procedures:
1. Connect the DUT and the channel input terminals of the load
Turn off the instrument, as shown in Figure 2-2, connect the DUT and the
channel input terminals on the front panel of the load.
CAUTION
While making a connection, the positive polarity of the load should
be connected to the (+) terminal of the channel output, and the
negative polarity of the load to the (-) terminal of the channel
output. A misconnection with the terminals may cause damage to
the instrument or the DUT.
2. Power on the instrument
After the instrument is connected to the power source, press the Power key
on the front panel to power on the instrument.
3. Set channel parameters
Press CV to enter the main interface of CV mode, as shown in Figure 2-6
. At the
top of the main interface, "CV" and "STATIC" are active. Of which, "STATIC" is
highlighted.
