Single channel DC power supply

Voltage: 0 – 6V

Current: 0.1mA – 8A

Power: 48W

Sorensen XEL benchtop power supplies are as easy to use as simple analog power supplies, but offer the flexibility of advanced digital features. The user interface allows easy control with single-turn knobs including a fine control knob for voltage.

Easy to use interface

This easy-to-use interface is complemented by V-Span, S-lock and Output Enable functions.

V-Span allows the user to set a maximum and minimum value over which the knob control operates. This provides more precise control over the voltage as the knob operates over a narrow range as well as protecting devices under test by limiting the maximum voltage.

S-Lock provides an easy method to output a regulated fixed voltage.

Output Enable lets the user setup the desired voltage and current levels prior to actually turning on the output. 

The programming “P” option includes LXI Class C Ethernet, USB, RS-232 and analog remote control.

The “PG” option includes GPIB programming plus all of the interface methods included in the “P” option described above.

These options can be added to your order from the accessories section of this page.

• Full bus interfacing permitting remote control and readback via either RS232, USB, LAN (LXI) or GPIB (IEEE-488)
• Simple command structures which make programming particularly easy regardless of which interface is used. The commands are consistent with other power supply families such as the XDL-P making inter-changeability straightforward.
• All power supply settings can be controlled via the bus. Voltage and current can be set to a resolution of 1mV and 0.01mA (10mV on 120V and 250V models). Actual voltage and current can be read back together with the power supply status.
• An IVI driver is supplied which provides support for common applications such as LabView, LabWindows, and Agilent VEE
• Single XEL-P models additionally offer remote analog control of output voltage and current which can be used independently or in parallel master-slave configurations. On 120V and 250V models the remote control inputs are galvanically isolated from the output. 

Small footprint

At 4.2x11.3 inches (108mm x 287mm), the XEL series occupies the least bench top space of any programmable power supply. The dual output model offers 90W per channel, also in a compact 8.4x11.3 inches (216mm x 287mm).
