The electronic load is fairly easy to use. Turn the knob clockwise/counterclockwise to increase/decrease the current. The fan will automatically turn on when the temperature is higher than 40℃ to keep it cool. Good for performing stress test on a power adapter or measuring the capacity of a power bank.
Next is the advanced part I’d like to comment in detail.
[Operations]
All operations are carried out with the scroller.
>Short press - switches/enters/confirms
>Long press - enters the main menu
>Double press - enters the charting mode/exits to the home screen
>Short turn forward/backward - enters a mode/scrolls through menu options/triggers an action/increases or decreases a value
>Long turn (turn and hold) forward/backward - enters a mode/scrolls through menu options/triggers an action/increases or decreases a value
[Groups]
Short turn forward to clean the current group.
Can switch between 5 groups for different tests.
[Charting]
Double press to enter, short press to switch between V-A and Vd+/Vd-.
Draws a V-A or Vd+/Vd- chart with real-time data at a selected sample rate
[FastCharge Trigger]
UNPLUG any device before doing this as it may DAMAGE your device!
Short turn backward to enter. Short turn forward/backward again after the red warning message flashes three times. Short turn backward once more to release if triggered.
Triggers different voltages that a power supply can deliver.
>QC2.0 - triggers 5/9/12/20V if supported.
>QC3.0 - triggers 5-20V, increases/decreases 200mV per time, if supported
>Auto Detect - automatically detects the charging technologies the power supply supported and shows them in green. Helps to pick a power supply with high compatibility.
>Apple 2.4A - makes a regular charger to charge like an apple 2.4A charger. Lets a regular charger charges an apple device faster.
>Apple MFI Test - checks if a lightning cable is MFi certified. Helps to pick a good lightning cable. (Needs a QC3.0 charger)
>Power Delivery - checks the PDOs the PD charger offered and triggers the voltages (Needs to turn on the PD trigger switch first)
>HUAWEI FCP - triggers HUAWEI FCP voltages 5/9V.
>Samsung AFC - triggers Samsung AFC voltages 5/9V.
[Cable Resistance Test]
Long turn backward to enter. Needs to use with the electronic load together to adjust the output current to 500mA or greater.
Tests the ESR of a usb cable. Usually a better cable has a lower ESR.
In addition, a lot of settings can be found in the main menu. It’s awesome that a firmware update will bring more new features. It’s really a combination of all my current usb meters/triggers with even more features. Powerful and useful. I wish bluetooth connection and PC/Smartphone apps would be found in a later version of this product.
(I did everything pretty quick in the video to save your time.)
------------- UPDATE 12/27/2017 -------------
CT-2 Part
[Independently/Externally Powered]
Powered via the Micro USB port. Can measure DC 0.1-26V with this. Useful to check Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
[Offline Curve Recording]
Short turn forward to enter.
Records the voltage and current points. Will generate a curve diagram when finished recording. A charge curve helps determine if a charger is good. Also, the curve records can be accessed in the PC app.
[PC App]
Shows the curve diagram directly. Can save/export the curve diagram to a file and open the diagram recorded on the meter or computer.
Tracks the communication between a charger (source) and a device (sink) with PD Listen. Will let you know how a PD charger charges a device. Needs the PD Tester switch to be turned on.
Boot logo and theme can be easily customized here.
Can perform firmware update here as well.
I also updated the video.
I am looking forward to the next version!
