  • Transient mode up to 20kHz in CC mode
  • CC/CV/CR/CW operating modes
  • Front panel remote sense
  • List mode programming
  • Automatic test mode
  • Overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), Overpower (OPP) protection, remote reverse voltage (RRV), and key-lock function
  • Thermostatically-controlled fans for quiet operation
  • Short-circuit test
  • Configurable battery discharge test
  • CR-LED mode to simulate the loading behaviour of typical LEDs
  • Adjustable voltage/current slew rate
  • Front panel USB host port for logging measurement data
  • Operating software and battery test software provided
  • RS232 and Handler interfaces
