With the maximum output power of 217W, the GPP-Series, the multi-channel programmable DC power supply, includes four models: GPP-1326 (0~32V/0~6A) for single-channel output and GPP-2323 for dual channel output (CH1:0~32V/0~3A, CH2: 0~32V/0~3A), GPP-3323 for three-channel output (CH1: 0~32V/0~3A, CH2:0~32V/0~3A, CH3: 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V/5A) and GPP-4323 for four-channel output (CH1:0~32V/0~3A, CH2:0~32V/0~3A, CH3:0~5V/0 ~1A, CH4: 0~15V/0~1A). This series not only provides high program resolution (1mV/0.1mA) and read back resolution (0.1mV/0.1mA), but also features optimal low-ripple noise characteristics ≦350uVrms/≦2mArms and output transient recovery capability ≦50S. Independent output on-off switch is provided for each channel.
For series and parallel applications of CH1 and CH2, the tracking function of the GPP-Series utilizes the internal circuit to automatically switch the output to serial or parallel output without additional external wiring, providing users with convenience not only in operating procedures but also a more stable output. The tracking function design of other brands requires additional external wiring connections for the output in series or parallel. However, excessively long, thin or inconsistent external wiring may cause inaccurate voltage or current output.
The GPP-Series offers a variety of display modes, including single or multi-channel setting values, measurement values, and waveform displays. The Monitor function of the GPP-Series allows users to set monitoring conditions according to requirements, sound alarms or stop output during the measurement process, and stop measurement and protect the customer's DUT. The GPP-Series provides output recorder function, which records the voltage/current of the output process to the internal memory, and the result can be stored as a (*.REC) or (*.CSV) file, which can then be transferred to the USB flash drive. The stored *.CSV can be exported to the Excel to conduct the future analysis.
The CH1/CH2 of the GPP-Series are designed with the load function. A single power supply can set one channel as the power output, and one channel for the load function to consume the power of the DUT so as to meet the basic charging and discharging test requirements for battery. Channel 1 and channel 2 not only provide 32V/3A power output, but also feature built- in maximum 32V constant voltage load (CV), maximum 3.2A constant current load (CC) and maximum 1k constant resistance Ω load (CR) function.
The GPP-Series provides the sequential output function on Channel 1 and Channel 2. This function not only allows users to edit the power output waveform, but also allows users to set the sequential constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) load waveform, i.e. a serial power output or a simulation test of a dynamic load. In order to simplify the setting of waveform editing, the GPP-Series has 8 built-in Templet waveforms in the sequence output function for users to directly apply for output, including Sine, Pulse, Ramp, Stair Up, Stair Dn, Stair UpDn, Exp Rise, Exp Fall waveforms.
The sound protection functions include OVP/OCP/OPP/OTP, in which the protection mechanism for OVP/OCP/OTP is implemented by hardware circuit that has the advantage of faster response time compared with competitors who adopt software to achieve protections. The OVP/OCP functions allow users to set the protection action point (except CH3 of GPP-3323) according to the conditions of the DUT. The OPP is only activated during the operation of the load function. The Delay Function sets the length of time during channel 1 or channel 2 power output on or during power output off.
In addition, the Trigger In/ Trigger Out functions synchronize external devices. The GPP-3323 channel 3 adds a 3A USB (Type A) output terminal for USB charging test. The intelligent temperature-controlled fan can adjust the speed according to the temperature of the power transistor so as to reduce unnecessary noise. The output value setting and the Sequence/Delay/ Recorder functions provide 10 sets of internal memory for use, and can be loaded/stored using a USB flash drive. In addition to the standard RS-232 and USB remote interfaces, the GPP-Series also has an optional LAN or LAN+GPIB interface to facilitate different requirements. The commands of the GPP-Series conform to SCPI requirements and are compatible with the commands of the GPD-X303S Series.

Output in Parallel Connections
For series and parallel applications of CH1 and CH2, the tracking function of the GPP-Series utilizes the internal circuit to automatically switch the output to serial or parallel output without additional external wiring, providing users with convenience not only in operating procedures but also a more stable output.
Output in Series Connections
The tracking function design of other brands requires additional external wiring connections for the output in series or parallel. However, excessively long, thin or inconsistent external wiring may cause inaccurate voltage or current output.

OUTPUT MONITORING FUNCTION |
Monitoring Function Setting
The output monitoring function allows users to set the monitoring conditions according to the requirements, including the voltage, current, and power greater than or less than the setting and the logical relationship of AND, OR. It also allows users to sound alarms or stop the output during the measurement process, stop the measurement, and protect the customer's DUT. Each Channel could be monitored simultaneously as well.

SEQUENCE OUTPUT FUNCTION |
Output Waveform of the GPP-X323 Series
The GPP-Series provides a sequential output function on Channel 1 and Channel 2. This function not only allows users to edit the power output waveform, but also allows users to set the sequential constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) load waveform, i.e. a serial power output or a simulation test of a dynamic load. The maximum settable points for sequence function are 2048, and interval range of each point can be set from 1 to 300 seconds. In order to simplify the setting of waveform editing, the GPP-Series has 8 built-in Templet waveforms in sequence output function for users to directly apply for output, including Sine, Pulse, Ramp, Stair Up, Stair Dn, Stair UpDn, Exp Rise, and Exp Fall waveforms.
The editing data of the sequence output can be stored in the internal 10 sets of the memory, or to be saved by USB flash drive (Save/Recall) and saved as *.SEQ or *.CSV file; The stored *.CSV can be exported into Excel for editing and analysis. The final edited file can be imported to (Save/Recall) of the power supply using a USB flash drive.

HARDWARE PROTECTION FUNCTION (OVP/OCP/OTP) |
OVP Trigger
The protection mechanism of OVP/OCP/OTP is implemented by hardware circuit, which has the advantage of faster response time than competitors who use software to achieve protection. When it is detected that the voltage of the DUT exceeds the setting value of the OVP, the output of the power supply can be stopped in a short time to achieve the purpose of protecting the DUT.
GPP-Series Application
The CH1/CH2 of the GPP-Series is designed with the load function. A single power supply can meet the basic battery charging and discharging test requirements. It can provide 32V/3A power output in channel 1 and channel 2. The maximum 32V constant voltage load (CV), maximum 3.2A constant current load (CC) and maximum 1kΩ constant resistance load (CR) function are built-in to allow users do conduct discharging test without using an electronic load. In application, users can also set either that one channel of the single GPP series as the power output, one channel as the load function to consume the power of the DUT, or that both channels as load functions to consume the power of different loads simultaneously.
GPP-Series Delayed Waveform
Output delay function allows users to edit the timing waveform of the power output on/off when the front panel voltage and current settings are unchanged. In order to simplify the setting of waveform editing, the GPP-Series has three built-in timing modes in the delay output function, including Fixtime , Increase, Decline for users to apply directly. The editing data of the output delay can be stored in the internal 10 sets of memory, or to be saved by USB flash drive (Save/Recall) and saved as *.DLY or *.CSV file. The stored *.CSV can be exported into Excel for editing and analysis. The final edited file can be exported to (Save/Recall) of the power supply using a USB flash drive.
