1. General information 

 
The VHQ´s are two channel high voltage supplies in 6U VME format, 164 mm deep, double width. The units 
offers manual control and operation via VME bus. The use of the VME interface supports more then the manual 
control functionality.  
The high voltage supplies special provide high precision output voltage together with very low ripple and noise, 
even under full load. Separate 10%-steps hardware switches put voltage and current limits. An INHIBIT input 
protects connected sensitive devices. Additionally, the maximal output current per channel is programmable via 
the interface. The high voltage outputs protected against overload and short circuit. The output polarity can be 
switched over. The HV-GND is connected to the chassis and the powering GND.
