And shipping in Europe is free. --- End quote --- Well, perhaps I will, but I doubt they will say "look: an unknown Italian customer wants a single unit! Let's give this to him with a 25% discount!" But one can never know :) |

Hi, The Rigol simply doesn´t look like a decent tool, but rather like "Transformers-meet-Hello-Kitty". If I were CEO and had two little Kids, a girl and a boy and asked them to design a power supply front face .... I think something looking like the Rigol could emerge. :-DD Hey Rigol ... keep it clean and simple ... we need tools not toys! :box: :box: jauu Calvin |

... I would rather not buy electronic equipment based on aesthetics. For the purists there is a monochrome version (DP832 without A). |

I think the 832 can be unlocked to get that extra digit of resolution but I don't know if that allows for the color display. Probably not. I simply don't care enough about the extra digit to unlock mine nor do I care enough to pay more than twice as much. |

I can enter voltage and current values with the keypad in terms of mV, V, mA, A depending on a button push. I can tweak these values with the rotary encoder. I can select which of the 3 channels gets adjusted and I can set voltage, overvoltage limit, constant current and overcurrent shutdown values. There is a difference between constant current setting and overcurrent shutdown. If the DUT hits the overcurrent or overvoltage limit, all channels shut down immediately. And I can see all 12 of these settings at all times. Further, I don't have to short the output to make the current settings with some kind of potentiometer, all values are set digitally. 12 settings... I also get a larger display of output voltage, current and watts. For all 3 channels simultaneously. So, we have 21 different values constantly displayed, try that with 7 segment displays. The only thing I find objectionable is the fact that I have to confirm with a second button press that I want to turn on all 3 channels simultaneously. Not a big deal but, gee, I just pushed the All on/off button, let's get it done already! I understand why it is done so I will get over it. In any event, the DP832 is probably out of the price range so it really doesn't matter. |
