The Keysight Smart Bench Essentials (SBE) Series is a set of four unique instruments with PathWave BenchVue application software to connect, control, and capture measurement data. 

The EDU36311A triple-output power supply has a compact design to fit anywhere on your bench. Monitor all your outputs simultaneously from any angle with its 7-inch color display. Each output is independent — connect your outputs in a series for higher voltage, in parallel for additional current, or stack to provide 0 to +/- 30 V. A sequencing feature enables and disables outputs in a set pattern. The user can now activate the control logic before applying power to the rest of your device.

The Keysight EDU36311A triple-output DC bench power supply comes with a robust design and usability at an affordable price. Its 90 W, electrically isolated channels supply clean and reliable power. The signature 7-inch wide video graphics array (WVGA) gives you a clear view, from instrument setup to the output status. You can easily control the EDU36311A triple output DC bench power supply remotely via USB or LAN. This solution includes Keysight’s PathWave BenchVue power supply software for the PC.

Clean Reliable Power

Accurate voltage / current programming and readback capability provide excellent control of the power supply and power measurement. The low, typical mode noise specifications ensure quality power for precision circuitry applications, enabling you to power your design with confidence. Besides the 0.01% load and line regulation, the EDU36311A triple output DC bench power supply also maintains a steady output when power line and load changes occur, giving you more measurement confidence. The EDU36311A triple output DC bench power supply includes over-voltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP), and over-temperature protection (OTP) to prevent damage in an education teaching lab environment to which many students have access.

Above Figure 1 shows the display with the voltage and current for all three channels with different views. Color-coded knobs along with display and binding posts help you prevent setup and connection errors so you can monitor the voltage and current value of all three channels simultaneously. Use the two knobs with rotary encoder control for voltage and current adjustments to make quick adjustments and configurations.

Above Figure 2 shows the single-channel view that includes the measured power, OVP / OCP condition, and delays. You can also monitor the readback, voltage and current for the other two channels.

The EDU36311A triple output DC bench power supply supports operation via standard commands for programmable instruments (SCPI) programming language, interchangeable virtual instruments (IVI) driver, web browser or PathWave BenchVue software for the PC. The EDU36311A triple output DC bench power supply ships with USB and LAN connectivity for easy remote access and control. This solution also features a built-in USB memory port so that you can use a USB flash drive to store your setup parameters. This feature makes it easy for you to restore the same setup to your lab’s power supplies.
