The Keysight E36731A battery emulator and profiler is an integrated electronic load and power supply developed to use with Keysight PW9253A PathWave Advanced Battery Test and Emulation software (software sold separately). An emulated battery gives you a known good reference for testing at any charge level. Quickly assess the effect of design or software changes on battery life by emulating any battery charge state. Leverage emulation and precise current drain analysis to achieve longer battery life or to reduce the size of your device.
Generate accurate battery profiles using the simulated current drain of a device
Instantly emulate any battery charge state and display real-time current drain data
Achieve accurate battery run-down tests by emulating your device’s current drain
Estimate battery aging effects to predict device performance throughout its lifetime
Streamline your workflow with an integrated power supply and an electronic load
Creates a battery model for any battery type
Power up to 200W, 30V, and 20A
Power supply function
The power supply function has a power output of up to 200 W, a current output of 20 A, and a voltage output of 30 V. It also has autoranging technology, which provides the highest current available at all output voltages, allowing you to meet the needs of various bench applications.
It has never been easier to create data logs for measurements taken over a specific period. The power supply has a large color display, data logging capabilities, and on-board memory. You can now log voltage and current measurements at the same time, separated by a programmable sample period, and save or export the graph in PNG/BMP format. You can even export the log file as time-stamped data in a .CSV format for reports and documentation.
Using the LIST mode, you can easily simulate common power problems or normal operation by performing complex sequences of output changes with fast and precise timing that are synchronized with internal or external signals.
The variable voltage slew rate allows for easy control of the rate at which the output slews from one voltage to another. All of this is accessible and programmable via the front panel of your power supply or computer for maximum productivity and efficiency.
Electronic load function
With a power of up to 250 W, the electronic load function provides superior performance. It can sink up to 40 A of current while supporting voltages of up to 60 V.
The electronic load function, like the power supply function, allows you to continuously log voltage and current to a data file. You can either save the data file internally or export it as a CSV file to a USB drive.
A dynamic load profile can be used to test the transient response of your power source. Like an oscilloscope, the built-in scope digitizes voltage and current and displays the results on the large built-in display. External current shunts or current probes are no longer required thanks to the built-in scope function. This feature significantly reduces measurement setup complexity while still providing accurate and fully specified measurements.
