On Workbench Wednesdays, James walks you through several advanced electronic load measurements using the Multicomp Pro MP710258 electronic load. It lets you simulate an IoT device’s power profile from sleep to transmitting; you can also see how fast a DC-DC converter recovers after a large load step; and finally it can even help characterize how long a battery will last based on an application’s discharge rate.
