Data Sheet
Triple Output Programmable DC Power Supply
Model 9129B
The 9129B is an economical triple output linear
programmable DC power supply featuring
isolated outputs that can be adjusted
independently or combined in series or parallel
to output higher voltage or current. Additionally,
this supply can operate in tracking mode with
user-configurable ratios between channels.
The front panel keys and rotary knob with
convenient cursors let users quickly set voltage
and current values. Up to 27 different instrument
settings can be saved and recalled. The power-on
state of the outputs can also be configured.

The USB to TTL interface supporting SCPI
commands can be used to remotely control the
power supply via a PC. Alternatively, users can
control the 9129B, execute test sequences or
log measurements using the provided PC
software application. This software also
integrates with Data Dashboard for LabVIEW
apps enabling iOS, Android, or Windows 8
compatible tablets or smartphones to remotely
monitor select measurement indicators.
This power supply is suitable for a wide range of
applications including education, service and
electronic design.

Tracking mode can be used to simplify
adjustments across multiple channels by
maintaining a user-defined ratio between outputs.
Tracking mode can be set on channels 1 and 2.
Bipolar output configuration
The independent and isolated outputs can be
used to create positive and negative outputs
between channels 1 and 2.
PC software is provided for front panel emulation, generating and executing test sequences or logging
measurement data without the need to write source code.
■ Remote monitoring on iOS, Android, or Windows 8 compatible tablets or smartphones via NI Data
Dashboard for LabVIEW apps.
■ Log voltage, current, and power values of each channel as well as timestamp, CV/CC mode, and output
status.
■ Quickly develop a custom dashboard with indicators, charts, or gauges to monitor your power supply.
■ Create an unlimited number of external list files to be executed from PC memory. Save and recall list
files to/from the PC.
