A couple of other vendors rebadge the same unit as well. You may wish to contact Korad directly for technical questions, as they should know best, but you might find it difficult to get a good answer from them. You might want to download the KEL2030 bundle from their site here to see what information/software/drivers are provided: https://www.koradtechnology.com/Service.html#c_portalResCompanyFile_list-16495041742074581-1 Nevertheless, as an electronic load, it should be able to log Voltage, Current for each time-step. Some loads have battery test modes to automatically stop discharging at a set voltage point and report the discharge capacity/energy. I don&amp;#39;t know that it comes with software that can be used &amp;quot;in production&amp;quot;. Perhaps there may be some example software or utility tools - I don&amp;#39;t know as the download is rather slow and I&amp;#39;m on a bandwidth quota. It&amp;#39;s most likely a SCPI-compliant device that can be remote controlled using SCPI commands. If you want it to run certain test sequences, you will need to command it to do so, and query it for results, just like any other SCPI-based test instrument. U-disk is short for USB flash disk - it refers to the ability of the unit to support a USB flash drive to be plugged into the host-port (USB-A) on the front panel for saving (and sometimes loading) of data - usually this means logging to a text file and/or screenshots. - Gough</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: DC electronic load MP710773 request for information</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/manufacturers/multicomp-pro/f/forum/55560/dc-electronic-load-mp710773-request-for-information</link><pubDate>Wed, 19 Feb 2025 08:21:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:d7d2fd73-4dfe-4a40-bf57-2301921fb231</guid><dc:creator>ipant</dc:creator><description>Dear Friends, Hello, hope everyone is fine.

I resisted for ages, sending anyone but myself to the lab, and even keeping a mini-lab under my desk, but after about 6 months, I gave in and did the test. It helps to have people like that around.

Good for protecting the bench as well and easy to clean. I wonder how the ioniser fan gets on competing with a fume extractor - the fume extractor isn&amp;#39;t that good at moving the visible smoke away (needs to be much closer than I had expected). But I mainly use it when soldering a lot of pins - like on connectors - with flux cored solder - so not much static problem then anyway. I&amp;#39;ve never had any part fail due to static damage (that I&amp;#39;m aware of) although I have killed things while testing with an 8kV spark gun.

Interesting devices! I&amp;#39;ve never used one of these, but it sounds like something worth trying. Should be easy to see the effects of it, various science-experiments can indicate presence or absence of static charges. I always use a wrist-strap (except the times I forget to plug it in if I temporarily detatch!), plus have a grounded mat, so not a whole lot of effort currently. My soldering iron has a grounded ring that is easy to touch as well. Same as Doug, I try not to touch parts when not in-circuit. ESD tweezers help with that! They have possibly saved hundreds of components from damage. Especially MOSFETs; it&amp;#39;s standard practice for me to solder them in plus a resistor to help protect them a little bit at least, without touching any of the connections. Also, I try to solder resistors first, and then semiconductors, so that the board is as ready as possible to try to reduce damage.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: What are you using to reduce and prevent static when working on kit and projects?</title><link>https://community.element14.com/products/manufacturers/multicomp-pro/f/forum/54755/what-are-you-using-to-reduce-and-prevent-static-when-working-on-kit-and-projects/222143</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Jun 2024 16:03:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:b159ad7b-109a-49c2-95ef-fc4a6c10d8cb</guid><dc:creator>dougw</dc:creator><description>I have not used ionizers for ESD. Would I use one? Maybe occasionally when I perceive a high risk situation, which would not be often. But then, according to the ESD police I don&amp;#39;t take nearly enough ESD precautions. What I do: I always wear all cotton clothing - because it has neutral triboelectric properties I handle electronics without touching the chips whenever possible I discharge myself to ground sometimes - when I think I should (this is an experience thing) This system works well enough for me. It is actually a bit of a standing joke around my house that as soon as I get home, I change from my &amp;quot;dress&amp;quot; clothing to my all cotton &amp;quot;uniform&amp;quot;.
