Logging voltage and current readback values with the Rohde & Schwarz logging and charting tooll

Sporadic events and errors may occur when developing new measurement instruments and need to be taken into account in all design stages and analyses. The Rohde & Schwarz power supplies can precisely capture such sporadic events and errors.

Your task

Rapid advances in technology have had a positive impact on the world, enabling both large and small scale connections and the development of ever smaller and smarter devices. When a technology evolves, components do too (including batteries). As devices get faster and more complex, error potential also increases. Optimizing power consumption and capturing small errors in the design stage are crucial for device development and functionality. Accurate power consumption characterization in different operating modes and the precise capture of irregular events are vital.

Rohde & Schwarz solution

Rohde & Schwarz has an easy and affordable solution. Rohde & Schwarz DC power supplies are high-precision sources with standard and fast logging features. The standard logging tool records voltage, current and power timestamps and readings for each available channel. Fast logging is only available with the R&S®NGM/NGU, which records voltage and current readings versus time but without timestamps. In sink mode, the logging and charting tool also helps log sink modes for the R&S®NGL/NGM/NGU power supplies.

Resolution and duration

Rohde & Schwarz power supplies have resolution down to 2 μs for accurate measurements that easily meet current device requirements. The R&S®NGU201/NGU401/NGA100 also have high current measurement resolution and accuracy.

Standard and fast logging modes can run for a specified duration that is only limited by hard disk drive (HDD) capacity.

Live chart

The innovative live chart layout has easy-to-use functions and a tool for in-depth analysis and readily available data.

Summary

Rohde & Schwarz power supplies fully meet high-precision power consumption measurement requirements. They measure a wide dynamic range of current levels and are highly accurate, even at extremely low voltage and current levels. Together with the charting tools, the power supplies are perfect for optimizing power consumption and capturing sporadic events.
