Welcome to R&S NGE100

2 Welcome to R&S NGE100

The two or three-channel power supply series are based on a classical trans­former concept with high efficiency electronic pre-regulators and secondary linear regulators. This concept allows the instrument to achieve the high output power within a minimum space, high efficiency and lowest residual ripple.
The R&S NGE100 power supply series feature galvanically isolated, floating over­load and short-circuit proof outputs with adjustable power ratings. The outputs can be connected in series or in parallel, thus making high currents and voltages available.
Multi-purpose protection functions are available for each channel which you can set separately, such as overcurrent protection (FUSE), overvoltage protection (OVP), overpower protection (OPP) and overtemperature protection (OTP). If such a limit is reached, the affected output channel is automatically turned off and an indicator message (FUSE, OVP, OPP or OTP) is displayed. The overcurrent protection can be linked to other channel (FuseLink function). In this case, all linked channels are turned off when the set channel reaches its limit.
The EasyArb function allows channel 1 (Ch 1) to have a freely definable voltage and current sequences with a timeframe as short as 10 ms. It allows you to vary the voltage or current limit during a test sequence, for example to simulate differ­ent charging conditions of a battery. With EasyRamp function, the R&S NGE100 provides the operating condition to simulate the continuous rise of the supply volt­age within a defined timeframe of 10 ms to 10 s.
Four data lines of the digital I/O interface are mutually independent and can be used as trigger input or trigger output separately. Various trigger conditions (e.g. fuse tripped, voltage, current, indicator messages) can be used to turn off, on or invert the output state when the trigger condition is met.
All R&S NGE100 power supply series are equipped with a color LCD display (320 x 240 pixels). The R&S NGE100 comes with a USB interface and optional LAN (LXI) and wireless LAN (WLAN) interface.
For models with WLAN, network connection can also be established wirelessly.
This user manual contains a description of the functionalities that the instrument provides. The latest version is available for download at the product homepage (http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/nge100).
