The DL3000 delivers 4 Constant Modes (Current, Voltage, Power, and Resistance) as well as 4 more advanced Transient Modes (Continuous Pulse, Timed Pulse, Toggle, and List) and 3 Applications Modes.
The DL3000’s integrated Battery Test Mode allows to complete battery discharge testing in order to see live capacity in mAh and service time. This Battery Test Mode gives designers tools to model power usage, edge conditions, and long term battery performance.
The DL3000 comes with a free UltraLoad software application that allows for instrument monitoring and control as well as access to data for offline analysis over USB or LAN.
