This unit
The Chroma 8000 Automated Test System (ATS) is a flexible, open-architecture controller designed for high-accuracy automated testing of power supplies and related electronic devices. Built on the PowerPro III software platform, it delivers repetitive measurements and high test throughput suitable for R&D evaluation and high-volume production. The system tests switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, adapters, chargers, and other power electronic devices through comprehensive test modes including output performance, input characteristics, regulation, timing and transient measurements, protection circuits, and DC-DC converter-specific evaluations.
