voltagemodus
Voltagemodus is a term that can refer to several concepts within electrical engineering and electronics. Most commonly, it denotes a specific operating mode or setting for an electronic device, particularly power supplies or measurement instruments. In the context of a power supply, voltagemodus signifies that the device is actively regulating and maintaining a constant output voltage, irrespective of changes in the load current. This is in contrast to current mode, where the device would regulate and maintain a constant output current. Many adjustable power supplies allow users to switch between these modes, enabling precise control over either voltage or current delivered to a circuit under test. For oscilloscopes or multimeters, voltagemodus might refer to the standard measurement setting where the instrument displays the instantaneous voltage across its terminals. The term can also be used more broadly to describe the intentional application of a specific voltage level to a circuit for testing or operational purposes. Understanding the specific context in which voltagemodus is used is crucial for correct interpretation.
