4.3.1 Basic Functions
PC software operation video:?
The basic functions of PC software: voltage/current preset, data group quick call out, calibration fine tuning, brightness setting, voltage and current curve exporting. You can rotate the wheel or enter the value?to set the voltage and current, the graph above the button shows the real-time voltage and current curve.?You can zoom in and out the curve by using the mouse wheel, double click the curve to auto adjusts?the axis, you can right click on the curve to clean the curve or export the curve data to picture or excel.
4.3.2?Calibration
The calibration fine-tuning function needs to be operated by a professional electronic person who has more than five and a half multimeter. It will change the system setting, incorrect operation may exceeds?the hardware limit and cause damage, and the resulting damage is not covered by the warranty! The limit error of the product is generally much smaller than the nominal error, when the error is close to or even higher than the nominal error, you need to check if the measuring instrument is accurate.
RD6006 calibration operation video:?
Click?"Calibration"?and enter the password "168168", you can enter the Calibration Fine Tuning page?(if you enter the password, by default you have accepted the above red letter agreement).?It can read the calibration data after connection; click the arrow to fine tuning the data. According to the linear function y=kx+b, the constant b is equivalent to the zero value, the slope k is equivalent to the proportional value, adjust this two values so that the data will be close to the real test value.
Set the output voltage at 1V, adjust the output voltage zero point to make the multimeter display close to 1V, and then set the output voltage at 30V, adjust the output voltage proportional value to make the multimeter display close to 30V. In the same way you can set 0.1A and 3A output current to calibrate the zero point and proportional value of the output current.
Set the output voltage at 1V and calibrate the actual output voltage zero point to make the actual output voltage displayed on RD6012?close to the value on multimeter. You can set 30V and calibrate the proportional value of actual output voltage. In the same way you can set 0.1A and 3A to calibrate the zero point and proportional value of the actual output current.?(This section does not provide technical support. If you do not understand, please check the related information).
4.3.3Advanced Function
You can set the output voltage and current by chart in the advanced function page, you can set every step between 1 and 9999 seconds, you can set 200 steps max, it can output automatically or manually. You cannot choose other operation page when it performs programming output or other operations, you can only switch other page when it ends.
