A simple program was created to control Agilent’s NEW N6784A general purpose SMU to capture an IV curve of a solar panel. The N6784A is a four quadrant PS and can be used to sweep through the IV curve of a solar panel. The N6784A module can be used in the N6700-series mainframe or the N6705B DC Power Analyzer.

In Part 2 of the demo, we varied the temperature of the panel and measured the effects.
