Welcome to R&S
NGU
The single source measure units are based on a classical transformer concept with lin-
ear regulators. This concept allows the instrument to achieve highest accuracy and
lowest residual ripple.
Multi-purpose protection functions are available which you can set separately, such as
overcurrent protection (OCP), overvoltage protection (OVP) and overpower protection
(OPP). If such a limit is reached, the affected output is automatically turned off and an
indicator icon ( , , ) blinks on the display.
Additionally, the R&S
NGU is protected with overtemperature protection (OTP). This
safety feature protects the R&S
NGU from overheating. When the temperature in the
source measure unit exceeds the OTP limit, the output is automatically cut off.
The Arbitrary function allows a freely definable voltage and current sequences with a
timeframe as short as 100
µ
s. It allows varying the voltage or current during a test
sequence, for example to simulate different charging conditions of a battery. With
"Ramp" function, the R&S
NGU provides the operating condition to ramp up the supply
voltage within a defined timeframe of 10 ms to 10 s.
All R&S
NGU source measure units are equipped with a color TFT display (800 pixels
x 480 pixels) and enhanced with touch input capability. The R&S
NGU can be remotely
controlled via USB, LAN (LXI) interface and optional GPIB option.
The digital I/O interface installed at the rear panel is activated with an option, it allows a
single trigger-in signal to control multi trigger-out signals on the source measure unit,
providing many possibilities to control outputs and associated devices in the event
when a trigger occurs.
