Display Modes:

Three display modes: Home-Measurement, Home-Statistics, and Curve Measurement
Figure 6: The three main display interfaces of the USB Tester.
  1. Home-Measurement Interface:
    • Displays real-time voltage, current, and power.
    • The volume production (capacity/energy) will change if a protocol is detected. The default is the recommended maximum range of the meter body.
  2. Home-Statistics Interface:
    • Shows real-time voltage, current, and power.
    • Displays real-time protocol status.
    • Capacity statistics (supports offline power-down save). Long press (confirm) key to clear zero.
    • Statistical information includes minimum value, average value, maximum value.
    • Real-time display of MCU on-chip temperature sensor temperature.
  3. Curve Measurement Interface:
    • The voltage display of the unit cell (curves in 4 regions) follows the total voltage adaptively.
    • Sampling time display refers to the total time of the table part of the display (+/- switching speed).
    • Current direction indication (follow the current size, try to update the flow rate).
    • Real-time plotting of curves.
    • Real-time voltage, current, and power display.
