2.3 Recommended Test Equipment Setup

1. For all power connections, use short, twisted-pair wires of appropriate gauge wire for the maximum

current amount.

2. Set Power Supply #1 (PS#1) for 6-V ± 100 mVdc, 3-A ± 100-mA current limit, and then turn off supply.

3. If BAT_Load is the circuit shown in Figure 3, connect Power Supply #2 (PS#2) set to approximately 3.6

V to the input side of BAT_Load, and then turn off PS#2.

4. Connect the output side (or battery terminals) of BAT_Load in series with current meter (multimeter) #2

(CM#2) to J2 and J6 or J3 (BAT, GND). Ensure that a voltage meter is connected across J2 or TP3

and J6 or TP9 (BAT, GND).

5. Connect VM#3 across J10 or TP7 and J14 or TP9 (SYS, GND).

6. Connect VM#4 across J15 or TP5 and J14 or TP9 (DRV, GND).

7. Connect J17 to HPA172 kit by the 10-pin ribbon cable. Connect the USB port of the HPA172 kit to the

USB port of the computer. The connections are shown in Figure 3.

8. Ensure jumpers are at the default factory settings per Section 1.6

9. After the preceding steps have been performed, the test setup for HPA742 is configured as is shown in
