Henk, suggesting you to post a new thread regarding your problem, rather than in here, as it wont get exposed too much.

Hi Everyone,
I purchased this ISO-TECH IPS-4303S DC Power Supply for my hobbyist electronics lab. I initially found myself confused by the interface, but as i used it more i finally got use to it, and its my go-to PSU now. I did a video introduction to this DC Power Supply on my YouTube channel below if your interested to find out more.

Badvoc,
That looks identical to the GW Instek GPD-4303s. I bet you could use their free remote software via the USB port.
The difference in current between the 2 ranges at the end of your video is likely due to different burden voltages. I believe Dave has a video explaining burden voltage. Try setting your PSU to constant current mode and then check the two ranges. Note whether their is then a different voltage displayed on your PSU.
Also, if you have a DSO, you may want to check for overshoot when the output is turned on. Especially on the far right fixed output channel. Some of the Instek GPD PSUs suffer from this.

Hi mtdoc, thanks for the info, i will check that out Dave's video on Burden voltage and your suggestion on CC mode, thanks again. Btw your spot on with the brand GW Instek, i bought this from RS Components and ISO-TECH brand appears to be an OEM brand under RS, although they are switching to their own RS Pro brand these days i have recently noticed.

It's always nice to have user reviews on YT, and thanks for the effort, but to make these PSU reviews really useful think about including (buying) a scope as mtdoc suggested.
