| nctnico:
With the most recent firmware only channel 1 is affected. I made it a habit to disconnect everything from channel 1. |
| HighVoltage:
Many many years ago, I was hit with a "crowbar issue" of an Agilent power supply that was killed and learned the hard way to always remove any connections from it, before doing a power cycle. So, it has become also a habit for me, to never leave anything connected. |
| Omicron:
In my opinion it is an unforgivable flaw. Especially for a company with the pedigree of Keysight. A power supply that is turned off should never be putting out energetic spikes on any of its outputs. If they had any decency they would recall these units. I bought this device but I refuse to defend it in any way. |

Unfortunately even the A brands seem to push too hard to get gear on the market nowadays. |
