Controls
Simple menu driven operation and familiar rotary controls for setting voltage and current ensures that the XDS Series power supplies are easy to operate. All front panel controls including the rotary knobs are digitally encoded for long lasting, trouble free operation. The voltage and current control knobs can be used to quickly slew output parameters. The intuitive front panel controls allow for easy operation of the supply by both novice and experienced users alike.

Applications
With excellent output regulation and accuracy, the XDS Series DC power supplies support a wide variety of DC power applications. Examples include communications, semiconductors, automotive, information technology and industrial. The standard RS232C serial interface supports remote control of all power supply functions and measurements and allows for easy integration into ATE systems. Use of standard SCPI command language syntax and instrument drivers for popular programming environments further ease system integration. An optional GPIB interface is
available as well.

Software
All XDS Series power supplies come with Windows Instrument Control Software. This software offers additional functionality. This includes the following capabilities:
Output Sequencing: Time driven output changes can be programmed, stored and executed under program control. Events include steps, sweeps, drops and surges of voltage and/or current. This allows a variety of power conditions and DC tests to be set up without having to develop application specific code. Multiple setups can be
stored on disk.
Data Logging: All measurements taken from the DC supply can be recorded to disk in a format that is easily exported to other programs such as MS Excel for analysis and display. Pass/Fail Testing: Automatic output sequencing and data readback with user defined
pass/fail criteria. This mode may be used for burn-in or product evaluation applications. A simple to use spreadsheet-like user interface allows entry of time delays, settings, readings and pass/fail limits. Any number of setups can be saved to disk for future use.
