Display Readings:

• Voltage (V): Measures the electrical potential difference.
• Current (A): Measures the flow of electrical charge.
• Power (W): Calculates the instantaneous power consumption (Voltage x Current).
• Capacity (mAh): Accumulates the total charge transferred over time.
• Energy (Wh): Accumulates the total energy transferred over time.
• Temperature (°C): Measures the ambient or internal temperature (if external probe is connected).
• USB D+ / D- Voltage: Displays the voltage on the USB data lines, useful for identifying fast charging protocols.
• Timing: Tracks the duration of the test.

Advanced Functions:

• Full Charging Shut-off: Automatically stops charging when the connected device reaches full capacity.
• Timed Power Off: Allows setting a specific duration after which the power output will be cut off.
• Charging Timer: Monitors and displays the total charging time.
• Fast Charging Protocol Detection: Automatically identifies and displays supported fast charging protocols (e.g., QC2.0, QC3.0, PD, MTK).
• Wireless Display: Measurements can be displayed wirelessly on compatible enabled phones (refer to specific app instructions if applicable, not detailed in this manual).
