Multiple Simulation Modes
The E4360 SAS provides three oper-
ating modes, Simulator, Table and
Fixed modes. To accurately simulate
the I-V cure of a solar array, use
simulation or table modes. When a
standard power supply is needed,
use fixed mode.
1. Simulator Mode:
The E4360 SAS internally gen-
erates a 4,096 I-V point table.
An internal algorithm is used
to approximate an I-V curve.
This can be done via the I/O
interfaces or from the front
panel where a PC is not needed.
These four input parameters
are needed to establish a curve
in this mode:
 •V
oc
- open circuit voltage
 •I
sc
- short circuit current
 •I
mp
- current at the peak
power point on the curve
 •V
mp
- voltage at the peak
power point on the curve
2. Table Mode:
The I-V curve is determined
by a user-defined table of points.
A table can have a minimum of
3 points, up to a maximum of
4000 points. A point corresponds
to a specific value of I and V.
As many as 30 tables may be
stored in each of the E4360 SAS
built-in volatile and non-volatile
memory. The tables (I-V curve)
stored in this non-volatile memory
will be retained when the
power is turned off, while
those stored in volatile memory
will be erased after power is
removed.
Additionally, current and
voltage offsets can be applied
to the selected table to simu-
late a change in the operating
conditions of the solar array.
3. Fixed Mode:
This is the default mode
when the unit is powered on.
The unit has the rectangular
I-V characteristics of a
standard power supply.
