Timer operation with the DP700 series power supply

Posted on: December 16th, 2020 by Doug Lovell
16/12/2020
The DP700 series power supply provides a timer function. When the timing output is enabled, the instrument will configure the output voltages and currents based on the preset timer parameters. The edited timer parameters are allowed to be saved to the internal non-volatile memory (NVM), and can be recalled if necessary. ...

When the timer is enabled the power supply will output preset voltage and current values at time increments you specify. Press Timer and then Timer Set to see the screen below. The columns 0-5 represents steps or groups that will be output at the Set time in seconds. So for this example only column 0 will be output since the Group field has been set to 1. ...
