Compact Power

The XDS Series packs up to 15 KW of DC power
into a 5.25” rack mount chassis. Despite the
high power density of this design, the XDS Series
provides a low noise, stable output.

A full set of measurements is built-in to provide
instant feedback on EUT load characteristics.

The XDS Series offers all the basic DC power
supply capabilities needed for a wide range of
applications and provides cost effective alternative
to larger and more expensive products typically
used for these applications.

Easy To Use 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.

XDS Series - GUI Software

All XDS Series Power Supplies come with
Windows GUI software. This GUI program
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 specic 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 read back with user dened 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.

The GUI program operates over the standard
RS232C interface or the optional IEEE-488/GPIB
interface and provides comprehensive on-line
help.
