ABC Power Supply Front View

Kepco¹s ABC bench power supply embodies the latest features: keyboard data entry, interactive digital display, integral GPIB support, software calibration, high frequency switch mode conversion, wide range input (85-264V a-c) and power factor correction. It meets the EN 61000-3-2 harmonic limits. A built-in EN 55022 Class B input EMI filter is provided. Integral External Trigger and RS 232 ports are now standard features.

Six different models are available from 0-10V at 10A to 0-125V at 1A. The built-in GPIB and RS 232 interfaces allow ABC to integrate easily into a test system. The ABC is shipped with an instrumentation software driver using VISA (Virtual Instrumentation Software Architecture) I/O to facilitate integration.

ABC are CE Marked per the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), EN61010-1 and the EMC Directives.

Although the software drivers supplied by Kepco are VISA compliant, they also require the installation of the proper 16-bit VISA driver from your GPIB card supplier. Many vendors supply this software with the hardware; National Instruments (http://www.natinst.com) has the driver for their cards available on the internet at a file transfer site (ftp://ftp.natinst.com — find the folder for suppport and VISA drivers). The driver to be installed is the win16 driver, even if your system is running under Windows 95 or Windows NT.
