Most everything I see says under 1mv rms... which doesn't always mean a lot based on how fast the peaks are. --- End quote --- Both are stated on P4 in CV and CC modes: https://int.siglent.com/u_file/download/24_06_13/SPD4000X_DataSheet_EN01A.pdf |

Ok so the 4000 looks pretty damn nice! The sheet says 5mV pk2pk ripple which is a bit more than the specs on the Keithley and measurable on a scope. The 4000s features are so much nicer than an old Kiethly though! It is a pretty PSU. |

I don't recommend getting a used PSU. Get one with a fresh warranty. |

I dont mind buying some used Keithley or Keysight supplies, but are they any less noisy or even that much better than a newer Siglent/Rigol etc? --- End quote --- Possibly not better (at some given condition, with the unit on hand), but if they provide guaranteed noise specifications then you won't get any worse than that. --- End quote --- Exactly. Siglent PSU's do clearly provide a ripple and noise spec in datasheets, generally ~350uV and just try to measure this with a scope. :o Not as easy as one might think....... --- End quote --- Some competitors are using "typical" or "supplemental" specifications for the same, nice to see Siglent being a leader with guaranteed specs. |
