The 1696B Series of compact 200 W DC power

supplies are equipped with programming and

protection features commonly found in more

expensive performance instruments. Programming

features include list mode for repetitive operation

and 10 user-conﬁgurable voltage/current presets

for quick recall. These benchtop power supplies

also support adjustable voltage and current limits

to protect the device under test.

The front panel incorporates a numeric keypad,

rotary control knob, and a dedicated V-set/I-set

button for convenient control. The back-lit LCD

simultaneously displays voltage, current, and

power meter measurements with 4-digit

resolution.

Applications

Suitable for many applications including

repetitive test routines in R&D, production

testing, product evaluation, or in education

environments.

Features

n Built-in voltage, current, and power meter

n List mode (timed programming): program up

to 20 steps

n Automatic CV/CC crossover operation

n Protection features: overvoltage (OVP),

overcurrent (OCP), overtemperature (OTP)

and key-lock function

n Control up to 31 power supplies from one PC

through RS485

n Store up to 10 voltage and current

combinations for quick output

n Lightweight and compact

n Large back-lit LCD display

n Thermostatically-controlled fan with

linear-speed control to minimize fan noise

n USB and RS485 interfaces, supports basic

SCPI commands
