B&K Precision 1696B Programmable DC Power Supplies

B&K Precision 1696B Programmable DC Power Supplies are compact 200W units equipped with the same programming and protection features as more expensive performance instruments. These modules feature list mode for repetitive operation and 10 user-configurable voltage/current presets for quick recall. The 1696B series supports adjustable voltage and current limits that protect the device under test. B&K Precision 1696B Programmable DC Power Supplies come with USB and RS485 interfaces for remote communication. Typical applications include repetitive test routines in R&D, production testing, product evaluation, and education environments.
