Supplementary characteristics
Front panel resolution
Voltage 1 mV
Current 0.1 mA
Transient response time
Less than 450 ms for output to recover to within 50 mV following a
change in output current from full load to half load or vice versa.
Command processing time
Average time for output voltage to begin to change after receipt of
digital data when instrument is connected directly to the USB or GPIB
is less than 100 ms.
Overvoltage protection (for CC mode):
• Accuracy: 0.5% + 0.5 V
• Activation time
[2]
: < 2ms
Overcurrent protection (for CV mode):
• Accuracy: 0.5% + 0.05 A
• Activation time
[2]
: < 2 ms
[1] Contacts and leads resistance may contribute an additional error of 6 mV/A (typical).
[2] Average time for the detection of OVP or OCP condition.
