The Agilent N6705 DC Power Analyzer – At a Glance
The Agilent N6705 DC Power Analyzer is a multi-functional power
system that combines the functions of a multiple-output DC voltage
source with the waveform/data capturing capability of an
oscilloscope and data logger.
As a multiple-output DC source, the Agilent N6705 provides up to
four configurable outputs. Available power modules have power
levels of 20 W through 500 W, have various voltage and current
combinations, and provide a variety of performance features as
described under “Power Module Capabilities”. Each output also has
arbitrary (Arb) waveform generation capability, which lets you
program predefined voltage and current waveforms – or define your
own waveforms. Agilent N678xA Source/Measure Units (SMU) have a
multiple-quadrant power mesh with separate voltage and current
priority source modes.
As a measurement system, the Agilent N6705 displays the average
output voltage and current in Meter View. Waveforms are displayed
in Scope View, which you can adjust using vertical and horizontal
controls. The Data Logger View measures and charts average and
peak voltage and current measurements over an extended period.

tput
voltage and current for all power modules.
Low output noise
Available on Agilent N676xA and N675xA power modules.
Output noise is
<4.5 mV peak-to-peak, which is comparable to linear supplies.
Fast up/down
programming
Available on Agilent N67
5xA, N676xA, and N678xA SMU power modules.
≤1.5 millisecond response time from 10% to 90% of the output rating.
Fast transient response
Available on Agilent N67
5xA, N676xA, and N678xA SMU power modules.
Transient response is less than 100 μs.
Output autoranging
capability
Available on Agilent N6
76xA and N675xA power modules.
Autoranging supplies the maximum rated power over a continuous range of
voltage and current settings.
Output On/Off sequencing
A turn
-on/turn-off delay capability for each output allows output on/off
sequencing.
Front panel
binding posts
+ and
– output and + and – sense terminals are provided for each output.
Sense terminals provide 4-wire voltage measurements.
Output protection
Outputs have over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection.
Emergency shut-off
An emergency stop button to quickly shut down all outputs.
Multiple
-Quadrant
operation
Available on Agilent N678xA
SMU and N6783A power modules.
2- and 4-quadrant operation provides source and sink output capability.
