The Agilent Technologies E3631A is a high performance 80 watt-triple output

DC power supply with G IB and RS-232 interfaces. The combination of bench-

top and system features in this power supply provides versatile solutions for

your design and test requirements.

Convenient bench-top features

• Triple output

• Easy-to-use knob control for voltage and current settings

• Highly visible vacuum-fluorescent display for voltage and current meters

• Tracking operation for ±25V outputs

• Excellent load and line regulation and low ripple and noise

• Operating states storage

• ortable, ruggedized case with non-skid feet

Flexible system features

• G IB (IEEE-488) and RS-232 interfaces are standard

• SC I (Standard Commands for rogrammable Instruments) compatibility

• I/O setup easily done from front-panel

supply (+6V, +25V, or -25V output) to be monitored on the display and allow knob

adjustment o that supply.

2 Tracking enable / disable key Enables / disables the track mode o ±25V supplies.

3 isplay limit key Shows the voltage and current limit values on the display and allows

knob adjustment or setting limit values.

4 Recall operating state key Recalls a previously stored operating state rom location

"1", "2", or "3".

5 Store operating state / Local key1 Stores an operating state in location "1", "2", or

"3" / or returns the power supply to local mode rom remote inter ace mode.

6 Error / Calibrate key2 Displays error codes generated during operations, sel -test

/ or secure and unsecure the power supply or calibration.

8 Output On/Off key Enables or disables all three power supply outputs. This key

toggles between two states.

9 Control knob Increases or decreases the value o the blinking digit by turning

clockwise or counter clockwise.

10 Resolution selection keys Move the lashing digit to the right or le t.

11 Voltage/current adjust selection key Selects the knob unction to voltage control

or current control.

1The key can be used as the "Local" key when the power supply is in the remote

interface mode.

2You can enable the "calibration mode" by holding down this key when you turn on

the power supply.

3You can use it as the "Secure" or "Unsecure" key when the power supply is in the

calibration mode.

Front-Panel Voltage and Current Settings

You can set the voltage and current from the front panel using the following

method.

1Press the key a ter turning on the power supply.

2Set the knob to the voltage control mode or current control mode using the voltage/

current adjust selection key.

3Move the blinking digit to the appropriate position using the resolution selection keys.

4Change the blinking digit to the desired value using the control knob.

5Press the key to enable the output. A ter about 5 seconds, the

display will go to the output monitor mode automatically to display the voltage and

current at the output.

Note All front panel keys and controls can be disabled with remote interface commands.

The Agilent E3631A must be in "Local" mode for the front panel keys and controls to

function.

Use the voltage/current adjust selection key, the resolution selection keys, and

the control knob to change the limiting or limitings value of voltage or current.

Adrs Power supply is addressed to listen or talk over a remote interface.

Rmt Power supply is in remote interface mode.

+6V Displays the output voltage and current for +6V supply. Knob is active for

+6V supply.

+25V Displays the output voltage and current for +25V supply. Knob is active for

+25V supply.

-25V Displays the output voltage and current for -25V supply. Knob is active for

-25V supply.

CAL power supply is in calibration mode.

Track The outputs of +25V and -25V supplies are in track mode.

Limit The display shows the voltage and current limit value of a selected supply.

ERROR Hardware or remote interface command errors are detected and also the

error bit has not been.

OFF The three ouputs of the power supply are disabled.

Unreg The displayed output is unregulated (output is neither CV nor CC).

CV The displayed output is in constant-voltage mode.

CC The displayed output is in constant-current mode.
