Automatic Power Supply Sequence Testing without Software Programming

Ensuring the reliability and durability of electronic components and electronic products, ageing test and environment test are indispensable test items for certifying product quality. Long testing time and repetitively sequential test conditions always consume a lot of time and energy of test operators. In order to streamline test operator’s measurement work, GWInstek power supplies provide users with the Test Script function, which allows users to directly plan a set of changing voltage and current parameters by Microsoft Excel and upload the edited Excel file to GWInstek power supplies so as to execute sequential power outputs. Test operators, without writing any programming codes and without acquiring an extra software, can swiftly and easily control the power supply to implement the automatic test objective according to their self-defined processes. The Test Script function of the GWInstek power supplies satisfies aging test and environment test in various power supply control requirements by producing consecutively, periodically or irregularly sequential power outputs.

GW Instek Test Script Features:

Setting: Capable of editing up to 20,000 settings

Cycle: Capable of setting 1 billion or infinite cycles

Duration time: Each setting can be set from 50ms to 20 days

GW Instek Power Supplies run Test Script without needing a PC!

Test Script allows users to run repetitive cycle tests by setting parameters including output voltage, current, time, cycle, OVP, OCP, Bleeder, etc. to the corresponding step number from Start to END as shown on the following chart: 

After filling the Excel chart with the parameters, users can quickly obtain a sequential power output as shown below:

From the above output example, each step is a setting and there are 9 steps to make up a cycle. The set cycle was repeated for two times.
