4.3.2 Constant Voltage Test Setup

Figure 4-3 shows the test setup for CV control loop.

Make sure the setting current of the e-load is configured to a value less than the control current set by the DAC to maintain a stable voltage loop.

Connect the positive probe of the 6.5-digits multimeter to the output of the board for an accurate reading of the voltage in mV.
