Hello Unisoft, I have another suggestion for a new operation mode, I will call it for now as Constant Power Mode (CP_MODE).
Suggestion:
Limiting current without lowering voltage, and with the possibility to adjust the values real time. Please read the following explanation.
Suppose I have a Load 24v 3A 72w (normal operation) and want to test it at lower amps without disturbing voltage regulation, like 24v at 2A, 1.5A, or custom value adjusted real time as long as we don't exceed the max values defined
!! This mode will only work if the load consumes more than the values we set. !!
Like this:
1. We turn on the feature: CP_MODE=ON/OFF (this disables CV/CC)
2. Then we set max values for V and I, for eg:
MAX_limit_V=24v (can't be above MAX limit of RD6xxx, 60V)
MAX_limit_I=1.5A (can't be above MAX limit of RD6xxx, 6A in case of RD6006)
3. Total watts are displayed automatically
4. There should be a routine to check if the entered values surpass the max power limit of the RD6xxx unit or the value defined in the Gear icon->Power->MAX power setting.
5. The max values are then automatically pasted into the V and I settings, without pressing V-SET and I-SET button.
6. The Operation Icon below will change from CV/CC into CP_MODE with yellow color for eg.
From this point, we will be able to decrease V and I real time (using V-SET , I-SET button, keyboard or encoder) but !!NEVER!! increase them above the limit defined in Max_limit_V and Max_limit_I
With this mode, we can test different loads at different situations, like
lower V <-> same I
lower I <-> same V
random v and I, up to the point the Load will stop working ou show some king of instability.
I'm able to do this with an old analog PS, but it will be nice if the RD6xxx could do it also.
Do you think it's possible to add this feature?
Thank you
