Choose Your Voltage and Current – Quickly, Precisely

A wide current and voltage range, and ﬂex ible features, make the PWS4000 Power Supply Series a versatile addition to your bench. With 0.03% basic voltage accuracy and 0.05% basic current accuracy, you can be conﬁdent in the power su the effect of voltage drop in your lead wires and noise of less than 5 mV further ensures accurate power delivery. List mode and a USB port for remote programming accelerate complex test develop ment. The PWS4000 Power Supply Series generates the power you need for your application – quickly and precisely.

Total Control Over Your Output

All models of the PWS4000 Series include an overvoltage protection circuit that reduces the output voltage if it exceeds a user-speciﬁed threshold for any reason. The PWS4000 Series also allows you to prevent the voltage from being accidentally adjusted above a limit that you specify.

Setting an appropriate current limit can be critical for preventing da m age to your device under test. With the PWS4000 numeric keypad, you can quickly and precisel limit is always visible on the display to keep you aware of this important setting. A user-deﬁnable password allows you to lock the front panel to prevent unwanted adjustments during critical tests.

Intuitive Operation

A rotary kno response to changing voltage or current. The direct-entry numeric keypad simpliﬁes setting precise voltage and current values.

Bright Display

A bright vacuum ﬂuorescent display provides excellent readability at a distance, at an angle, or under dim lighting conditions. Meter readings and limits are always visible. You don’t need to push buttons just to see your limits.

Setup Memories

To save time when repeating tests, you can save your instrument settings in one of the 40 internal memory locations by simply pressing the Save button. Each time you want to recall that setting, just push the Recall button and choose the desired setup.

Accelerate Comple x Test Development

The built-in List mode allows you to deﬁne a custom sequence of voltage and current steps for your test. You can deﬁne up to 7 lists, and each list can have up to 80 steps. Lists can be conﬁgured to step through the sequence based on external triggers or front-panel button presses. Alternatively, you can specify a duration for each step and the instrument will automatically step through the sequence. For even more ﬂexibility, a USB device port on the back panel makes it easy to connect the power supply to your PC for remote programming.

Connect Your Bench for Intelligent Debug

You can use your preferred programming enviro nment to control the PWS4000 using a USBTMC-compliant device port, or you can get quick results with the special Tektronix Edition of National Instrument’s LabVIEW SignalExpress™ software. The PWS4000 Power Supply Series includes the Tektronix Edition of SignalExpress f or basic instrument control, data logging, and analysis. The opt ional Professional Edition offers over 200 built-in functions that provide additional signal processing, advanced analysis, sweeping, limit testing, and user-deﬁned step capabilities.

SignalExpress supports the range of Tektronix bench instruments* enabling you to connect your entire test bench. You can then access the feature-rich tools packed into each instrument from one intuitive software interface. This allows you to automate complex measurements re quiring multiple instruments, and easily capture and analyze your results, all from your PC. Only Tektronix offers a connected test ben ch of intelligent instruments to simplify and sp eed debug of your complex design.

Performance You Can Count On

In addition to industry-leading service and support, the PWS40 00 Power Supply Series comes backed with a three-year standard warranty.
