Supplemental Characteristics
172 E3632A User’s Guide
Maximum input power 500 VA with full load
Output voltage overshoot
[4]
<1 V
Programming language SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
State storage memory Three user-configurable stored states
Recommended calibration interval 1 year
[1] Maximum change in the output or readback per °C after a 30-minute warm-up.
[2] Following a 30-minute warm-up, with the output in the ON state according to the operating mode (CC with load or CV), and
with a change in the output over 8 hours under constant load, line, and ambient temperature.
[3] Maximum time required for output voltage to settle within 1% of its total excursion (for resistive load). Excludes command
processing time.
[4] During turn-on or turn-off of the AC power, if the output control is set to less than 1 V. If the output control is set to 1 V or
higher, there is no overshoot.
