Description
The Agilent E3633A and Agilent E3634A DC power supplies feature a combination
of programming capabilities and linear power supply performance that makes them
ideal for power systems applications. The power supply is programmable 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. An output range needed is
selected from the front panel or over the remote interfaces.
Operational features include:
• Dual range of single-output: 8V/20A and 20V/10A (Agilent E3633A),
25V/7A and 50V/4A (Agilent E3634A)
• Constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) operation
• Overvoltage protection (OVP) and overcurrent protection (OCP)
• Three storage locations (1 to 3) for user-defined operating states
• Automatic turn-on self-test
• Remote sensing for load voltage at the front or rear panel terminals
• User calibration from the front panel or over the remote interfaces
The front panel operation permits:
• Easy-to-use of knob control
• Output range selection
• Enabling or disabling OVP and OCP features
• Setting the OVP and OCP trip levels
• Clearing OVP and OCP conditions
• Setting and displaying the voltage and current limit values
• Saving and recalling operating states
• Returning the power supply to local mode from remote interface mode
• Retrieving/Scrolling error messages on the display
• Calibrating the power supply, including changing the calibration secure code
• Configuring the power supply for remote interfaces
• Enabling or disabling the output
