The GPP-3610H/GPP-7250 is a series of programmable DC power supplies designed as adjustable, multifunctional workstations. These devices offer multiple outputs and operate in both constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes. They are equipped with a 4.3-inch TFT display for clear information presentation and feature digital panel control.
Function Description:
The primary function of the GPP series is to provide a regulated DC power supply with adjustable voltage and current. It can operate in three load modes: Constant Voltage (CV), Constant Current (CC), and Constant Resistance (CR). The power supply automatically transitions between CV and CC operation based on the output current and voltage reaching their set target values.
A unique feature is the Output Waveform Function, which allows users to customize V/I sequential waveform outputs under Source mode and program dynamic loads (below 1Hz) under Load mode. This enables the creation of specific voltage and current patterns for various testing scenarios.
The device also includes advanced functions such as Sequence, Delay, Monitor, and Recorder. The Sequence function allows users to edit and output different voltage waveforms, with a duration range from 1s to infinite and a resolution of 1s. The Delay function is used for outputting a series of pulses at a constant voltage, with editable waveforms and a duration range from 1s to infinite. The Monitor function helps guarantee load status by halting operation based on preset voltage, current, or power conditions, offering output disable, content notice, or audible alarm options. The Recorder function captures live output data for long-term analysis, saving files to internal memory or an external USB flash drive.
For user convenience, the GPP series supports both front and rear panel output, selectable via the panel menu or remote commands. It also offers multiple remote control interfaces, including standard RS-232 and USB, with optional GPIB and LAN connectivity. An external I/O control signal is reserved for user-defined switch control.
