Software upgrade adds support for advanced power supplies

These 1- and 2-kW models, expandable to 10 kW, were designed for applications where high-speed dynamic sourcing and measurement is needed.

The Agilent 14585A software enhances the user experience of the APS N7900 Series, giving R&D engineers access to the power supplies’ advanced functionality without having to write a single line of code. The engineers can now perform complex tasks, such as waveform creation or long-term data logging, in a matter of minutes, with just a few clicks.

The advanced functionality of the 14585A software includes enhanced control and analysis of data, using familiar PC controls and large display, simultaneous control of up to four APS N7900 Series power supplies, four modes of operation: scope (short-term waveform capture), data logger (long-term waveform capture), CCDF statistical analysis, and ARB (waveform creation) and graphical user software with no programming required.

It also features accurate capture of current drain measurements from seconds to days directly to a PC, advanced marker measurements (Min, Avg, Max, RMS, Peak-to-Peak, Charge/ Energy, the ability to easily create complex waveforms to stimulate or load down a DUT by inputting a formula, choosing from built-in or imported waveform data and data log measurements directly to a PC.
