M98XX Series

Programmable LED
DC Electronic Loads

The M98 series is purpose-built for LED-driver testing. A special internal circuit simulates real LED behaviour, so it works with over 95% of LED drivers on the market — making it the most cost-effective LED electronic load in its class.

The LED test function

An ordinary electronic load in CC or CR mode often can't test an LED driver reliably — many drivers detect that they aren't driving a real LED and shut down or oscillate. The M98's dedicated LED mode uses a special internal circuit to simulate the real voltage–current behaviour of an LED string, so the driver "sees" a genuine LED load and operates normally.

  • Simulates real LED forward-voltage and dynamic-resistance behaviour.
  • Compatible with capacitance-sensitive LED drivers that trip ordinary loads.
  • Steady, stable readings throughout the test.
  • One-touch: press Shift + ↑ to enter LED test — a “D” indicator appears on the display.
  • Arbitrary waveform editing via the built-in list function.

PC software & automated testing

Maynuo M97/M98 monitor software

The M98 uses the same M97 / M98 monitor software as the M97 series. Connect over RS-232 / RS-485 / USB and drive the load from your PC — with live voltage, current and power graphs, automated multi-step test sequences, list/arbitrary waveforms and data logging.

List & arbitrary waveforms
Build custom load profiles step by step.
Automatic test
Editable multi-step sequences with pass/fail.
Live graphs
Real-time V / I / P monitoring.
Data logging
Export measured results to Excel.

Operating modes

Beyond LED simulation, the M98 offers the same precise standard modes as the M97 series.

CC mode graph
CC — Constant Current
Sinks a set current regardless of input voltage.
CV mode graph
CV — Constant Voltage
Holds the source at the set voltage.
CR mode graph
CR — Constant Resistance
Current proportional to input voltage.
CW mode graph
CW — Constant Power
Consumes a constant power as V and I vary.
