In contrast to battery simulators intended for manufacturing applications, the 2281S incorporates a 4.3in TFT display that shows voltage, current, amp-hour readings, source settings, and many additional settings. An icon-based main menu provides access to source setup, measurement setup, display formats, trigger options, and system settings.
The 2281S also functions as a high performance power supply with a maximum output of 20V and 6A. It is said to deliver measurement accuracies of 0.02% for voltage and 0.05% for current. Resolution of current measurements is as low as 10nA to measure very low sleep mode currents.
