Convenient Benchtop Capabilities
All three outputs on the E36300 Series can be turned on and off independently, so you are essentially getting three power supplies in one instrument which saves cost on maintenance. It also saves space on the bench as you can power up multiple analog/digital circuitries or devices with a single instrument. For even more voltage or current, Channel 2 and Channel 3 of the E36312/13A set series or parallel mode on the front panel to double the output voltage (up to 50 V) or current (up to 4 A) respectively.
The E36300 Series is one of the quietest power supplies in its class. It automatically lowers the fan speed under the load/ no-load condition to eliminate annoying acoustic noise through a thermal control circuit. The 4.3-inch LCD color display shows the voltage and current of all three channels with different views. Color coding of the knobs, display and binding posts helps avoid setup and connection errors. Two individual knobs for voltage and current with rotary encoder control for precise setting and keypad allows quick adjustments and configurations in less time.
All models support operation via, SCPI (standard commands for programmable instruments) programming language, IVI (interchangeable virtual instruments) driver, Web Browser or BenchVue. The E36300A series is code compatible with the E3631A to assist in migration to a more modern power supply.
The E36311A ships standard with USB and the E36312/13A with both LAN and USB (GPIB optional).
Data logging, output sequencing (available on E36312/13A models only)
Emulating the normal behaviors of your power subsystems early in the design process, including controlling multiple power supply voltage sequences, measuring wide dynamic ranges of current, and varying the speed of the power supply voltage to reflect real circuit characteristics is critical to your design’s success. The E36312/13A offers additional capabilities for emulating and analyzing power behaviors.
Logging data is key to reviewing test setups and repeating test conditions. The E36312/13A simultaneously logs data on all three DC outputs, both voltage and current measurements, spaced by a programmable sample period, to the large color display and a file. Export the data logger display in PNG, BMP file formats or export the time-stamped data as a CSV file for reports and documentation. The built-in battery backup real-time clock allows for proper timestamping of logged data.
Simulate power problems or normal operation with either sequencing or list mode. Sequence each channel on the E36312/13A models individually to turn on or turn off with a delay. Generate complex sequences of output changes with rapid, precise timing synchronized with internal or external signals by using LIST mode.
