Features and Options
The XG Family Programmable DC Power Supply provides stable,
variable output voltage and current for a broad range of development and
system requirements. The power supplies have a high power density and
numerous industry standard interfaces:
• RS-232, RS-485, analog programming (APG), and USB built-in
ports.
• Optional GPIB or Ethernet (ENET), isolated analog programming
(ISOL), control for remote operation and readback.
• Seamless switching between front panel and any digital interface
(RS-232, RS-485, USB, GPIB or ENET).
• Simultaneous digital displays for both voltage and current.
• Front panel control by rotary Adjust/Enter knob, permitting high
resolution output setting.
• Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) reduces input current and
input current harmonics.
• Automatic crossover system allowing the power supply to switch
between Constant Current, Constant Voltage and Constant Power
(available in version 2.21 and higher) operating modes.
• Parallel or series connection among multiple units to produce
greater diversity or to use in higher power applications.
• Short-circuit protection of DC outputs provideing greater operating
safety.
• Built-in APG and ISOL (optional) interface to provide a
galvanically isolated analog voltage control of the output,
master/slave output tracking, and remote Enable/disable for safety
and precision.
• Remote output voltage sensing to automatically compensate for
cable losses.
• Software calibrated.
• Three user setting memory locations.
• M10 Option preprograms the voltage to reset to zero upon power on
and upon output enable.
