Triple output power supplies incorporate front panel programming

According to Agilent, the U8030 series is suitable for benchtop and industrial applications where front panel analogue programming enables users to set and control key output parameters without extensive programming knowledge. With this function, says the test and measurement specialist, the series can be used for margin tests, burn in or reliability tests and general electronics manufacturing. All three channels of the power supply can be controlled individually or simultaneously with a press of a button and deliver up to 375W (total) to multiple devices or points. Ee Huei Sin, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Basic Instruments Division, said: "Agilent combined its years of knowledge and expertise to create the U8030 series of power supplies. This is evidenced by performance advantages such as low noise and good load regulation, which are significant innovations in this product category." The models include a screen that shows voltage and current readings simultaneously to help users observe total power drawn by a device under test. The series also includes over voltage and over current protection to help ensure integrity of the device under test and protect the power supply.
