The one or two-channel power supply series are based on a classical transformer
concept with linear regulators. This concept allows the instrument to achieve
highest accuracy and lowest residual ripple.
The R&S NGL200 power supply series feature galvanically isolated, floating over-
load and short-circuit proof outputs. The outputs can be connected in parallel and
serial to get higher voltages, thus making high currents available.
Multi-purpose protection functions are available for each channel 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 channel is automatically turned off and an indicator icon ( , , ) blinks
on the display. In the case of two-channel power supply, NGL202, the overcurrent
protection can be linked to the other channel. In this case, the linked channel is
turned off when the other channel reaches a limit.
Additionally, the R&S NGL200 is protected with overtemperature protection
(OCP). This safey feature protects the R&S NGL200 from getting overheated,
when activated, the channel outputs are turned off.
The Arbitrary function allows a freely definable voltage and current sequences
with a timeframe as short as 10 ms. It allows you to vary the voltage or current
limit during a test sequence, for example to simulate different charging conditions
of a battery. With Ramp function, the R&S NGL200 provides the operating condi-
tion to simulate the continuous rise of the supply voltage within a defined time-
frame of 10 ms to 10 s.
All R&S NGL200 power supply series are equipped with a color LCD display (800
x 480 pixels). The R&S NGL200 comes with a USB and LAN (LXI) interface.
Equipped with a wireless LAN (WLAN) option, you can establish a network con-
nection wirelessly .
The digital I/O interfaces installed at the rear panel is activated with an option, it
provides a set of 4-bit digital interfaces that can be individually used as trigger
inputs or outputs.
The user manual contains description of the functionalities that the instrument
provides. The latest version is available for download at the product homepage
