The Agilent E3641A 30-watt single-output programmable power supply features built-in GPIB and RS-232 connectivity and SCPI language compatibility making it easy to create flexible power programs. For general-purpose use, this programmable power supply offers the performance of a system power supply at a surprisingly affordable price.

E364X: Basic System Power
The Agilent E3640A - E3649A power supplies fill the gap between manual bench power supplies and high performance system supplies, offering unmatched performance and functionality at a great price. They’re designed for moderate-speed test where automation is important and throughput is not critical. These single- and dual-output, dual range power supplies are ideal for contract manufacturers and OEMs who need to perform basic electronic functional tests on a variety of products quickly and economically.

All models support GPIB and RS-232 for quick connectivity. SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) keeps programming fast and simple. Less than 90 ms output settling time keeps throughput high without the need for a down programmer. Up to five store/recall states help minimize programming time while accelerating test. Remote sensing capability ensures output stability with longer leads.

Great Performance, Outstanding Price
With 30 to 100W of output power, the Agilent E364xA-series of programmable dc power supplies provides great performance at a great price. All ten models deliver clean power, dependable regulation, fast transient response and built-in GPIB and RS-232 interfaces. They’re designed to meet the needs of R&D design verification, production testing, QA verifications and other demanding applications with Agilent Technologies’ quality and reliability.

Steady Output
With 0.01 percent load and line regulation, Agilent E364xA power supplies keep output steady when power line and load changes occur. They also specify low normal mode voltage noise and low common mode current noise.  The low normal mode noise specification assures clean power for precision circuitry applications, and the low common mode current provides isolation from power line current injection. Agilent E364xA power supplies specify less than 90 msec of voltage settling time at any output load condition.

Remote Interface
Agilent E364xA power supplies support any PC with a GPIB (IEEE-488) card or RS-232 interface. Every model ships standard with both GPIB and RS-232.  Easy-to-use SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) keeps programming fast and simple.  The user manual provides information for beginning programmers, yet includes enough detail to help veteran programmers as well.

Broad Support
VXIplug&play software drivers are available for Agilent VEE and National Instruments LabView™ and LabWindows™, simplifying integration of the E364xA into your test system. The drivers are supported under Microsoft® Windows 98 ® and NT. ®

Front Panel Operation
An easy-to-use rotary knob and self-guiding keypads allow you to quickly and easily set output at the resolution you need. Voltage and current levels can be set to a maximum resolution of 10 mV/1 mA from the front panel. Up to five complete powers supply setups can be stored and recalled from the internal non-volatile memory. The output on/off button sets the output to zero.  Dual output models allow two voltages or currents to be displayed simultaneously.

Versatile Power
Agilent E364xA power supplies give you the flexibility to select from dual output ranges. Output load is protected against overvoltage, which is easily monitored and adjusted from the front panel and remote interface. Remote sensing is available in the rear terminal to eliminate errors due to voltage drops on the load leads. These power supplies offer new versatile binding posts on the front panel and Agilent Technologies screw-type terminals on the rear panel. New front panel binding posts allow you to use safety test leads as well as conventional banana clips and stripped wires. An optional rack mount kit is available.  The Agilent E364xA series employs a cooling fan with automatic speed control for reduced acoustic noise.
