Description
The Agilent E3632A DC power supply feature a combination of programming
capabilities and linear power supply performance that makes it 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. The desired output range
is selected from the front panel or over the remote interfaces.
Operational features include:
• Dual range of 15V/7A or 30V/4A
• 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
• 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
• Displaying remote interface error message
• Calibrating the power supply, including changing the calibration secure
code
• Configuring the power supply for remote interfaces
• Enabling or disabling the output
