Description
This power supply features a combination of programming capabilities and
linear power supply performance that makes it ideal for power systems
applications. The power supply may be programmed locally from the front
panel or remotely over the GPIB and RS-232 interfaces. This power supply has
two ranges, allowing more voltage at a lower current or more current at a lower
voltage. The output range is selected from the front panel or over the remote
interfaces.
Operational features include:
• Dual-output dual range
• Constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) operation
• Overvoltage protection (OVP)
• Five storage locations (1 to 5) for user-defined operating states
• Automatic turn-on self-test
• Remote sense at rear panel terminals
• User calibration from the front panel or over the remote interfaces
The front panel operation permits:
• Easy-to-use control features
• Output (1 or 2) and output voltage range selection
• Enabling or disabling OVP
• OVP trip level setting and condition clearing
• Setting and displaying the voltage and current limit values
• Operating state storage/recall
• Resetting the power supply to power-on state
• Returning the power supply to local mode from remote mode
• Retrieving/Scrolling error messages on the display
• Changing display mode (V-V, I-I, or V-I display)
• Viewing the errors, calibration string, or system firmware revision
• Enabling or disabling Tracking mode
• Calibrating the power supply, including changing calibration secure code
• Remote interface configuration
• Enabling or disabling the output
