Selectable Operating Voltage

Three selectable operating-voltage ranges allow adapting to applications for high voltage / low current or low voltage / high current.

Especially when controlling extremely low impedance loads, the operating voltage range can be reduced to one-third of the maximum output voltage, which greatly reduces power dissipation.

• Reduction of power dissipation
• One system for 12 V / 24 V / 48 V vehicles

General

The 100-TS series are linear precision

• quadrant power amplifiers for fast voltage and current signals - each positive and negative (bipolar).

They also work as sink-in applications to absorb power. This series is characterized by extremely high bandwidth at the highest power requirements, necessary for fast signals.

Especially these amplifiers are characterized by their signal quality.

Arbitrary Functionality

BOLAB´s arbitrary power amplifiers include a huge memory of 1 Million data points to store arbitrary waveforms in the instrument. No arbitrary waveform generator or any other controlling instrument is needed, which makes these 4-quadrant amplifiers unique in the world market.

The easy-to-use WaveMaster software, which is standard in scope of delivery, allows generating waveforms with a graphical user interface or via tabular input.

Monitor Outputs

Located on the back of the instruments, there are monitor outputs for voltage and current with the respective measured values.

Output values are 0 ... ±10 V

for 0 ... ±Vrated respectively 0 ... ±IIrated.

The current is measured with an internal shunt and accuracy of approx. 1 %.

Optionally a current sensor with 0.01 % accuracy can be integrated easily.

Output ON/OFF

The output on/off switch at the front of the instruments allows the output to be activated or deactivated. When deactivated, the devices under test are completely galvanically separated.

Protective Functions

Various protective functions avoid damage to the instrument and guarantee protection for the devices under test. Output voltage and current can be limited. An over-temperature shutdown is included. The unit’s internal power dissipation calculation and complete current monitoring ensure perfect short circuit and over-voltage protection. Also, for security reasons, an interlock shutdown can be triggered.

Unlimited Waveform Memory

• This technology enables an endless, continuous data stream to the amplifier.
• Compared to a function generator with its limited arbitrary memory there is no limitation of the size of the waveform.
• A waveform with small spikes and interruptions of e.g. 100 µs and long constant levels in between can be simulated easily.

Voltage And Current Control

Both voltage and current control of the comprehensive amplifiers is possible. This can be selected on the front panel of the instrument.

Control input is 0 ... ±10 V 

for 0 ... ±Vrated respectively 0 ... ±IIrated.

An optional compensation network for current control is necessary, which achieves the highest slew rates and signal quality for current signals.

Modular Concept / Modularly Expandable

• Modular hardware architecture
• Starting with one single unit of e.g. 1 kW
• Extension up to 18 kW in parallel
• Building up 3-phase systems with up to 6 kW per phase
• Serial connection for increasing voltage
• In case of a defective module, only this module needs to be repaired
• Each module has its own indication for functional capability

WaveMaster Software

Waveform generation and 4-quadrant amplifier control

Special Features

• Easy to use graphical waveform editor and tabular input possibility
• Command library for integration into automated test systems:
  • LabView(TM)
  • Vector CANoe (CAPL)
  • C#
  • C++
  • ANSI C
  • Python
  • etc.
• Simulation of imported oscilloscope signals
• Waveform trigger caused by external TTL signal (rising edge) for synchronization
• Macro function for the execution of automated tests

Waveform Generation

The powerful and easy-to-use WaveMaster software is unique in the world market. Without any knowledge of software development, constructing ordinary and complex waveforms is easy.

A graphical waveform editor allows the generating of individual curves in a flash. Also, tabular input can produce all kinds of waveforms immediately.

The simplicity of how fast data can be imported out of oscilloscopes is fantastic. Reading in ASCII data files is possible in the same way.

Digital Interface USB

All functionalities of the 4-quadrant amplifiers are available in WaveMaster software for controlling the instruments. Its USB interface can easily set short-time current on/off, output on/off, operating voltage range, and other functions.

Trigger Function

A hardware trigger input can be activated to monitor a TTL input signal on its rising edge. Synchronous waveform simulation, measurement, and testing tasks are predestined applications.

Macro Function

With a comfortable macro editor and its execution, selected waveforms run sequentially. Bursts, repetitions, and loops make testing easy without any software coding.
