High Power Programmable DC Power Supplies
PVS Series
3
Remote control and programming
These power supplies offer standard USB, RS-232, GPIB, and LAN interfaces
to facilitate test system development and integration. The PVS Series supports
SCPI-compliant protocols and come with LabVIEW™ drivers.
Test system integration
The list mode feature allows users to program a list of steps to the power
supply’s internal memory and execute them. A total of 100 steps
can be allocated to each internal memory location, up to a maximum of 9
locations. The test sequence can be programmed remotely via the USB,
RS-232, GPIB, or LAN interfaces using SCPI commands or with the included
application software. Test sequences can be configured for single or repeated
execution. Each steps’ settings include voltage, current, duration, and output
status.
Test sequence execution in list mode
The PVS Series models 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
In addition to front panel and 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 voltage
source (0-5 V/0-10 V selectable) or resistance ( 0-5 kΩ/0-10 kΩ selectable
for high voltage models). The analog interface also offers the ability to
monitor the output voltage and current, regulation mode (CV or CC), or
to indicate the occurrence of a fault condition.
Analog programming and monitoring interface
• Remote monitoring on iOS, Android, or Windows 8 compatible tablets or
smart phones via NI Data Dashboard for LabVIEW apps. Quickly develop a
custom dashboard consisting of one (smart phone) or several (tablet)
indicators, charts, or gauges to monitor your power supply.
• Log voltage, current, and power values as well as time stamp, CV/CC,
and output status.
• Save and load list files to/from the power supply’s internal memory.
• Create an unlimited number of external list files to be executed from PC
memory. Save and recall list files to/from the PC.
Application software
PC software is provided for front panel emulation, generating and executing test sequences or logging measurement data without the need to write source code.
The power supply can be controlled with SCPI commands using a socket or
Telnet connection via the Ethernet interface.
