Programmable DC Power Supplies
XLN Series
4
Remote access and programming
These power supplies offer standard USB
along with optional GPIB and LAN interfaces
to facilitate test system development and
integration. The XLN series supports SCPI
IEEE488.2 and come with LabVIEW™ drivers.
System integration
The power supply can be controlled with SCPI
commands via a Telnet connection over the
Ethernet interface. Any computer with a Telnet
client can be used to control the power supply.
Telnet interface
PC software is provided for creating and executing
test sequences in list mode via the USB or GPIB
interface.
Generate, save, and load program lists. View
output characteristic curves and export data to a file.
Pass/Fail test monitors maximum and minimum voltage
and current values over a specified period of time.
Application software
XLN series models with GPIB and LAN interfaces
provide a built-in web server that allows users to
configure, control, or monitor the basic settings
of the power supply from a remote computer
using a web browser.
Web server interface
The list mode feature allows users to download a
list of commands to the power supply’s internal
memory and execute them. Up to 10 sets of
programs can be stored with a total of 150 steps
allocated among the memory locations. The test
sequence can be programmed remotely via the
USB, GPIB, or LAN interfaces using SCPI
commands or the included application software.
Each step’s voltage, current, and duration
parameters can be set, with sequences
configured for single or repeated execution.
Test sequence execution in list mode
In addition to front panel or remote interface
control, voltage and current values can also be
programmed with an analog control signal. The
power supplies can be externally controlled from
zero to full scale by either an analog voltage
source (0-5 V/0-10 V selectable) or resistance
(0-5 kΩ, 0-5 kΩ/0-10 kΩ selectable for high
voltage models). High voltage models also
provide additional functions to the analog
programming interface such as the ability to
monitor the output voltage and current, check
regulation mode (CC or CV), and indicate
whether a fault has occurred.
External analog programming
interface
Interface for controlling voltage, current,
and output state.
In multi-unit control mode, up to 30 units can be
daisy chained via RS485 and controlled from one
master unit through the USB, GPIB, or LAN
interface.
