General Information

Keysight E3633A and E3634A User’s Guide

The power supply is shipped with a detachable, 3-wire grounding type power

cord.The ac line fuse is an extractor type on the rear panel. The power supply can

be calibrated from the front panel directly or with a controller over the GPIB or

RS-232 interface using calibration commands. Correction factors are stored in

nonvolatile

memory and are used during output programming. Calibration from

the front panel or a controller eliminate the need to remove the top cover or even

the need to remove the power supply from your system cabinet. You can guard

against unauthorized calibration by using the “Secured” calibration protection

function.
