TDI.Load¶

Code author: Kevin Kennedy <protonyx@users.noreply.github.com>

Remote Interface¶

These loads feature a Ethernet connection that hosts a web-based interface from which you can control the load much like you would if you were sitting in front of it.

class labtronyx.drivers.TDI.Load.d_XBL(resource, **kwargs)[source]¶

Driver for TDI XBL Series DC Electronic Loads

configurePulsing(freq, duty, mode, base, peak)[source]¶

Mode can be one of:
