Protection features

Each N6700 module is protected
against over-voltage, over-current, and
over-temperature. A fault condition in
one module can be detected within
10 microseconds by other modules so
that they can be quickly shut down to
avoid hazardous conditions on your
device under test (DUT).

Connectivity

The N6700 MPS comes standard
with GPIB, USB 2.0, and 10/100
Base-T ethernet LAN interfaces.
While GPIB is best suited for use
with existing systems, Agilent offers
USB and LAN to allow you to take
advantage of the availability, speed,
and ease-of-use of common computer
industry standard interfaces. The
N6700 is fully compliant with the
LXI Class C specification.

Security

When used in systems running GPIB,
the LAN and/or USB interfaces can
be disabled for extra security. Also, all
non-volatile RAM data and settings
can be cleared from the front panel.

Control from any browser

The N6700 can be controlled via a
standard web browser. The N6700
contains a web server that provides
web pages for monitor, control, and
setup of the MPS.

Output sequencing

Each DC power module can be
individually set to turn on or to turn
off with a delay. By adjusting the
delay times and then commanding
the N6700 to turn on, you can set the
N6700 modules to sequence on in a
particular order. The same sequencing
capability is available to shut down
the modules in a particular order.

For applications that require more
than four DC power modules to be
sequenced, this output sequencing
can be extended across multiple
N6700 mainframes. When the I/O
ports on the rear panel of the main-
frames are wired together, a pair of
synchronization signals can be sent
between mainframes, allowing the
output sequences of all mainframes
to be synchronized. This capability
is supported on N6700B, N6701A
and N6702A mainframes. It is not
supported on the discontinued
N6700A mainframe.
