R&D Engineers are
Under Time Pressure
Due to increasing time-to-market
pressures, research and development
engineers often find themselves
on tight schedules to work through
device under test (DUT) testing.
Along with being driven faster, the
R&D engineers can face a high
regret factor should their haste result
in damaging scarce, complex’ or
expensive DUTs during product devel-
opment. This is a particular concern
when tests involve applying DC power
to a DUT. Furthermore, test complex-
ity increases when testing devices
that require multiple input voltages,
such as printed circuit boards.
Today, when performing DC power-
related tests, R&D engineers must
gather and configure multiple instru-
ments to complete DC sourcing and
measurement tasks. When executing
these complex tasks, which can
involve simultaneously connecting
to and physically interacting with
multiple test instruments, the risk
of error increases. In response, R&D
engineers may choose to automate
tests that are too complex to do
manually. Unfortunately, while auto-
mating tasks reduces human error,
writing and debugging programs adds
more work to already overloaded R&D
engineers.
The Agilent N6705 DC Power
Analyzer represents an entirely
new instrument category for R&D
engineers. It provides unrivaled
productivity gains when sourcing and
measuring DC voltage and current
into a DUT. Using the Agilent N6705
DC Power Analyzer, R&D engineers
can gain insights into the DUT’s
power consumption in minutes
without writing a single line of code.
It provides an easy-to-use interface,
with all sourcing and measuring func-
tions available from the front panel.
New Instrument Category for R&D Engineers
to Increase Productivity
The Agilent 14585A control and
analysis software saves even
more time
The 14585A control and analysis
software is a companion PC applica-
tion that lets you control any of the
N6700 family’s DC power modules
when installed in up to four N6705
mainframes – from a single PC con-
trol screen. With this software, you
get improved data visualization and
data management.
• Compliments the N6705 DC power
analyzer’s front panel controls.
• Control and analyze data from
up to four N6705 DC power ana-
lyzer mainframes and any installed
modules at once – up to 16 power
modules simultaneously.
• Easily create complex waveforms
to simulate or load down a DUT by
inputting a formula, choosing from
built-in, or importing waveform
data.
• Enhanced control and analysis of
data with familiar PC controls and
large display.
• Data log measurements directly to
a PC.
• Perform statistical analysis of
power consumptions.

The Agilent N6705 DC power
analyzer saves time
• Provides unrivaled productivity
gains for sourcing and measuring
DC voltage and current into your
DUT by integrating up to four
advanced power supplies with
DMM, scope, arbitrary waveform,
and data logger features.
• Eliminates the need to gather
multiple pieces of equipment,
create complex test setups includ-
ing transducers (such as current
probes and shunts) to measure
current into your DUT.
• Eliminates the need to develop
and debug programs to control a
collection of instruments and take
useful measurements because all
the functions and measurements
are available at the front panel.
The Agilent N6705 DC power
analyzer makes these tasks
easy, right from the front panel
• Setup and view critical turn-on/
turn-off sequences.
• Measure and display voltage,
current versus time to visualize
power into the DUT.
• Control DC bias supply ramp-up/
down rates.
• Generate DC bias supply transients
and disturbances (arbs).
• Log data for seconds, minutes,
hours, or even days to see current/
power consumption or capture
anomalies.
• Save data and screen shots to
internal storage or external USB
memory devices.
• Save and name your setup and
tests for easy re-use.
• Share setups with colleagues.
