3.3 Input On/Off Control

[ On/Off ] button on the front panel is used to manually toggle the instrument
between its set mode and an infinite impedance state, i.e control input on and
off. [ On/Off ] button lighted indicates the load input is on, meanwhile the [ OFF ]
indicator will disappear.

3.4 Short-circuit Analog Function

Short circuit simulation and short circuit current measurement:you may press
[ Shift ] + [ 1 ] botton to emulate a short state.It can be used to check whether
the tested instrument’s short protection is avaiable.
In short mode,the DC load will draw maximum current from the DC supply in
any of the four operation modes(CC,CV,CW or CR).In CC,CV,or CR mode,you
may press [ Shift ] + [ 1 ] to stop short.The DC load will return to its previous
operation.However,in CW mode,the short current will continue to be drawn.To
stop the short,you must press the [On/Off] key after you press [ Shift ] + [ 1 ].
When emulating a Short in CC, CW or CR mode, the maximum allowable short
current is equal to the 110% of current range. Under CV mode, short circuit
current is equivalent to that constant voltage value of load is 0 V.

 Functions and Characteristics

3.7 Trigger Function

Triggering is used with the transient operation; list operation and test
function.There are four types of triggers you can use for IT8500+ products.
Manual: An immediate trigger is created by pressing [ Shift ]+ [ ] (Trigger)
on the front panel.
External(TTL signal): An external trigger is a TTL low signal applied to the
trigger connection on the rear panel.This TTl signal must last for more than
10us.
Bus: The instrument will be triggered if command 5AH is sent via the
communication interface.
Hold: The instrument will be triggered if command 9DH is sent via the
communication interface.

3.8 Transient Function

The transient test allows switching between two different load values.A
common application is to test the dynamic characteristics of DC source.
There are three different types of transient operation: continuous, pulse,
toggled.

3.8.1 Continuous Mode

In continuous transient operation, the load is continuously switched between
two load values.An example is shown in the following figure:

3.8.2 Pulse Mode

In pulse operatrion,the load operates at the A value that has been entered until
a trigger is received.At the trigger,the load switches to the B value and stays at
that level for the B timing value.Then the load switches back to the A value and
stays there until another trigger is received.

Copyright © Itech Electronics Co., Ltd. 19

 Functions and Characteristics

3.8.3 Toggled Mode

In toggled transient operation,the load starts at the stored parameters for the
mode.When a trigger is received,the load switches to B value.When another
trigger is received,the load switches to the A level.It stays at the A value until
another trigger is received,at which point it switches to the B value.Here’s an
example:

10A

5A

TRG TRG

Toggled Transient Operation

3.9 LIST Operation

List mode allows you to generate a complex current sequence. Moreover, the
mode.
change can be synchronized with an internal or external signal, to accomplish
dynamic and precise test A list file includes following parameters: file name,
step counts (range 2-84), time width of single step(0.00005s~3600s),step
value and slope.The edited list file can be saved in nonvolatile memory, can be
recalled easily.The DC load provides 7 nonvolatile registers to save list files for
recall later.
In list mode,the DC load start to run the list file once receiving a trigger signal,
continue to run once receiving another trigger signal.To illustrate the use of a
list,we’ll create a list that runs the following constant current profile on a power
supply:

Trigger

0 1 2 3 4 5
List count=1 List count=2

List sequence

3.10 Saving and Recalling Settings

We can save some often-used parameters in the non volatile memory, including
working mode, voltage/current value and so on.IT8500plus series provide 100
non-volatile registers.
They are divided into 10 Memory groups: Group0-9.You can set it in the system
menu.Group0 means you can save and recall parameters in 0-10 registers.

Copyright © Itech Electronics Co., Ltd. 20

 Functions and Characteristics

Group1 means you can save and recall parameters in 11-20 registers.
Group2-Group9 can be concluded in the same manner.

Save and Recall operation

For example: the instrucment works in CC mode, setting value is 1A,
Memory Group is 6. Save “CC 1A” in the 61th register and then recall.
1. Set the parameters ok. To save the instrument's settings to a register,
press [ Shift ]+ [4] (Save). Enter number [6] and [1].
2. Then press [Enter], The setting is saved.
3. To recall the instrument's settings from a register, press [ Shift ]+ [Enter]
(Recall).
4. Enter [1].Then the setting is recalled.

NOTE
Saving operation will overwrite any values previously saved in that register.
Recalling operation will light the Enter . You should press [ESC] to escape the recalling state
before setting other parameters.

3.11 VON Function

The DC load can be set to only turn on if the voltage is above a set value(VON
set) under configure menu by pressing [ Shift ]+ [9].There are two types of
VON function:Living and Latch.The following will have detailed description for
the two types.

NOTE
VON set is used to ensure an electronic system under test will not have power applied
unless the supply voltage is above a certain value.If you have no such testing request, do
not set this value arbitrarily.If your instrument can not work normally, for example, set CC=1A,
after turn on the input while the current is still 0A instead of setting value 1A, then you should
check VON set firstly.If VON set is not 0V, then please modify to 0V.

VON LIVING MODE

In Living mode, when power is applied to the DC load, the voltage must rise
above VON setting before the load draws current from the source.If the voltge
below VON setting on the load’s terminals, the load will turn off input.
Copyright © Itech Electronics Co., Ltd. 21
 Functions and Characteristics

VON LATCH MODE

In Latch mode,as before,the load will turn on only when the voltage exceed
VON setting,but once on,it will now stay on,even if the voltage drops to zero.

3.12 OCP Operation

OCP test process: After input voltage reaches VON point,the DC load start to
draw a current from the source after a delay time.The current value will
increase by a certain step size at regular intervals.Simultaneously,the DC load
will judge whether the input voltage is lower than OCP voltage you’ve set.If it
is,then the present current value will be compared to see if it is in the current
range you’ve set,in this range,the OCP test will Pass or fail.On the contrary,the
DC load will continue to increase drawing current and compare the voltage.
To start an OCP test,press [ Shift ]+ [ ] (Trigger).
Press [ Shift ]+ [ CC ] (OCP) to enter OCP operation.

3.13 OPP Operation

OPP test process:When the input voltage has reached VON point, power will
begin to work after a delay time.The power value will increase by a step size at
regular intervals.Simultaneously,the DC load will judge wether the input voltage
is lower than OPP voltage(you need to set).If it is,then the present current value
will be compared to see if it is in the current range you’ve set,in this range,the
OPP test will Pass or fail.On the contrary,the power will continue to increase
within the cut-off current range.And then compare OPP voltage with input
voltage too.

3.19 The Terminals on the Rear Panel

3.19.1 Remote Sensing
Remote sensing is used to counteract the effect of lead resistance. For
example, if you connect a power supply to the DC Load, the voltage at the
power supply's terminals will not be the same as the voltage at the DC Load's
terminals if there is a current flowing because of the finite resistance from the
wires. Using remote sensing, you can sense the voltage at the power supply's
terminals, effectively removing the effect of the voltage drop in the connection
wire.
When using remote sensing, the power displayed by the instrument includes
both the power dissipated inside the instrument and the power dissipated in the

leads from the power supply to the DC Load's input terminals.

 Steps to enable remote sensing in the menu:
1. Press [Shift] +[9] key into the menu
2. VFD displays > , press [Enter] key to confirm
3. Press [ ] to choose > , press [Enter] key to confirm
4. Press [ ] to choose >, press [Enter] key to confirm, then remote
sense function has been set, and VFD display indicator.
Remote Sensing: SENSE (+) and SENSE (–) are the remote sensing inputs.
By eliminating the effect of the inevitable voltage drop in the DC load leads,
remote sensing provides greater accuracy by allowing the DC load to regulate
directly at the source's output terminals.

Wiring Diagram for Remote Sensing:

3.19.2 External Triggering

EXTERNAL:An external trigger is a TTL low signal applied to the Trigger
connection on the back panel. This TTL signal must last for more than

4.7 Test Files

Test files are a generalization of lists—they let you generate a sequence of
tests using different modes, mode parameters, and durations. They are useful
for executing a set of tests on a device, then displaying whether the tests
passed or failed. We will illustrate how to use test files by a short example.
You can edit up to 10 groups of testing files, each file has 10 steps, it can edit
up to 100 steps which can be saved in EEPROM (address).
Suppose we have a small AC to DC power supply (a "wall-wart") and we want
to set up an acceptance test for a number of these devices. Our test will consist
of two steps:
1. Set the DC load to constant current mode to draw the rated current of 1.2A
from the device. The output voltage of the device at the rated current must
be between 4.4V and 4.6V.
2. Set the DC load to constant voltage 3V. The output current of the device is
between 2A and 3A.
3. When the device operates into a short, the supplied current must be larger
than 3.0 A.

Chapter5 Communication Interfaces

DB9 in the rear panel of the DC load could connect with RS-232 through on TTL connector. The
following description may help you to know how to control the output of the DC load through PC.

WARNING: Don’t connect the DC load’s DB9 connector to a standard RS232 instrument; doing
so may damage the instrument.

5.1Communication Modules Intruduction

IT-E121 Communication Module
The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the DC load is TTL voltage
level; you can use the communication module IT-E121 and an a standard
RS232 extension cable to connect the DB9 interface connector of the DC load
and the RS-232 interface connector of computer for the communication.

IT-E121A Communication Module

The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the DC load is TTL voltage
level; you can use the communication module IT-E121A and an a standard
RS232 extension cable to connect the DB9 interface connector of the DC load
and the RS-232 interface connector of computer for the communication.
IT-E121A is derived on the basis of IT-E121,the main difference between them
is that the DB9 interface connector of the RS232 changes from female to
male ,so that can be directly connected to the standard LAN interface.
IT-E121A communication cable

IT-E122 Communication Module

 Communication Interfaces

IT-E122 has a USB interface on one end,you can use IT-E122 and an a
standard USB extension cable to connect the DB9 interface connector of the
DC load and the USB interface connector of computer for the communication.

IT-E123 Communication Module

The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the DC load is TTL voltage
level;
The interface on both side port of IT-E123 are DB9 interface and RS485
interface, you
can use the communication module IT-E123 and an a standard RS485-RS232
conversion cable to connect the DB9 interface connector of the DC load and
the RS-232 interface connector of computer for the communication.

RS485 pins

5.2 Communication with PC

Before using the remote operation mode, please make sure that the baud rate
and communication address in the DC load are the same as in the computer
software, otherwise, the communication will fail, you can change the baud rate
and communication address from the front panel or from computer.

 Communication Interfaces

DB9 Serial Port

In order for the computer to communicate with the DC load, both must be set to
the same RS-232 settings. These communication settings are:
1. Address: the range is from 0 to 31, default setting is 0
2. Baud rate: 4800,9600,19200 and 38400 are selectable, default setting is
9600. Refer to chaptor 1.7.
3. Data bit: 8 bit
4. Stop bit: 1
5. Parity: None,Even, Odd, default is None, refer to chaptor1.7.

Parity=None Start Bit 8 Data Bits Stop Bit

RS-232
IT8514B+/IT8514C+/IT8516C+ series electronic load have a DB9 interface on
rear panel. Connect E-load and computer by cable of COM ends (DB9).
Composite key [Shift]+[8] on front board can be used to enter system menu for
activation.
 RS-232 Interface
In RS-232 interface, all SCPI commands can be used for programming. If
RS-232 interface is selected, in accordance with internal connection of data
terminal equipment (DTE) and data communication equipment (DCE) as
defined in EIA RS-232, the load is connected to another DTE (e.g., PC COM
interface) with direct-connected Modem cable.
