Description
This power supply features a combination of programming capabilities and linear
power supply performance that makes it ideal for power systems applications. The
2
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
