The Keysight 14565B device characterization software is designed for easy evaluation of portable battery powered device (like 3G handsets, PDA, WLAN, and Bluetooth™ enable devices) current profiles to ensure long operating life of devices.

This software provides a graphical user interface to easily control the Keysight 66300 series mobile communications DC sources and measures device current draw. Current drain analysis allows you to characterize current drawn from a battery and make tradeoffs in design that impact the current drain and battery life. With current drain analysis, you can log current drain measurements for up to 1,000 hours and perform statistical CCDF analysis.

The 14565B can be controlled from other programs and programming languages (such as the Keysight Interactive Functional Test software, Wireless Test Manager, NI LabVIEW¹, Keysight VEE, Microsoft^® Visual Basic, Microsoft Excel and others) to automate and synchronize current drain measurements with other DUT stimulus and activity, such as RF and digital control and activities. The 14565B software with test automation saves valuable resource and time by automating time consuming, repetitive tasks associated with characterizing battery current drains during real world operation: video streaming, music downloads, text messaging.

14565B test steps are now integrated into Interactive Functional Test software (N5972A) and Wireless Test manager versions E6567C, E6568C, N5882A, N5884A, N6422C, N6423C.

Power Supply Software FAQs

There are many programming languages, such as Python, MATLAB, C#, and C++. The easiest and quickest to implement will be to use power supply software, such as the PathWave BenchVue power supply software, that allows for instrument control by a simple drag-and-drop option.

Yes, you can use the power supply software to help you create commands or command sequences that can then be exported to many programming languages. In PathWave BenchVue, the sequence can be created and then brought into Test Flow.

The easiest and quickest way to do this is to use the power supply software's Test Flow application to save time and achieve faster results—all without ever having to write a computer program. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface in Test Flow enhances your workflow with the ability to create custom, automated test sequences, a task that typically requires days using traditional programming languages. Moreover, you can obtain a deeper understanding of your data using Test Flow’s built-in analysis tools, which log and graph with selectable x-axis and y-axis formats and much more. With the Test Flow capabilities, you can create test sequences without any programming on your power supply software.
