CC-CV Charging System without Series Diode

CC-CV Charging System without Series Diode

CC-CV Charging System without Series Diode To charge batteries, it is recommended that you connect a diode in series at an output of DC power supply (See Figure 1). With a diode, constant current (CC) can be properly supplied; however constant voltage (CV) may be unstable if using remote sensing at battery terminals. Without a diode, a high current can flow between a battery and power supply whe...

How do I pick the right spectrum analyser for my application?

Introduction The SIGLENT SSA3000X, SSA3000X Plus and SVA1000X products are based on a similar swept superheterodyne spectrum analyser platform and have very similar starting prices. There are quite a few similarities, but also a few differences that could affect the end results for particular applications. The table below compares the major specifications and the comparable options as they p...

Programming Example: SSA/SVA analyser screen image capture using Python over LAN

Here is a brief code example written in Python 3.4 that uses a socket to pull a display image (screenshot) from a SIGLENT SSA/SVA analyser via LAN and save it to the local drive of the controlling computer. NOTE: This program saves the picture/display image file in the same directory that the .py file is being run from. It will overwrite any existing file that has the same name. Download P...

Build FM NRSC masks for SIGLENT SSA3000X/SVA1000Xs using a Python script

Many broadcast applications require monitoring a transmitter and observing the output amplitude vs. frequency. For FM radio applications, a common mask is defined by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is commonly referred to as the FM NRSC mask. A very helpful SIGLENT owner, Dan from Alabama Broadcast Services, LLC, built an FM NRSC Mask tool using our original AM NRSC mask pyth...

Testing Intrinsic Safety Barrier fusing and circuitry using an Electronic Load

From Wikipedia: Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas by limiting the energy, electrical and thermal, available for ignition. The idea is to minimise the risk of fire or explosion by physically eliminating any potential source of ignition. Many IS circuits utilise special fusing and elements that are designed to diss...

Programming Example: Controlling an SPD power supply via Sockets over LAN

Here is a Python 3.6 example of using sockets to control an SPD power supply connected to a computer using LAN. NOTE: The SPD uses VXI-11 protocol for LAN. On some systems, it is helpful to use the VXI-11 format for the IP address: “TCPIP::ip.add.re.ss::INSTR” Here is the program in full: Products Mentioned In This Article: Siglent SPD Power Supplies please see HERE...

Verification of a LAN connection using Telnet

Automating a test can dramatically increase the productivity, throughput, and accuracy of a process. Automating a setup involves connecting a computer to the test instrumentation using a standard communications bus like USB or LAN and then utilising code entered via a software layer (like LabVIEW, .NET, Python, etc..) to sequence the specific instrument commands and process data. This process n...
