Looks like a nice basic bench supply. A few nits that I would pick: 1) In the video they talk about current measurement down to 100uA, but the display is showing a resolution of 1uA, and with no load connected, the current is non-zero. I hate it when a result is displayed with more resolution than accuracy - which happens with 93.85326% of test equipment vendors. 2) Someone mentioned not liking the 'kindergarten colors' for the outputs - I do like this. In my job (validation engineer for a semiconductor company) I will often have several different test boards for the same part, and I color code the cables for power to make it easy to figure out which supply goes where - by matching cable colors to the channel numbers it will make life easier. 3) I like the supply sequencing feature, but I suspect that it is not possible to tie multiple supplies together and sequence across two or more power supplies - I often have to sequence more than 3 supplies. |

Resolution beyond accuracy can be useful for observing relative changes. Is the current drifting up or down? Accuracy beyond resolution is wasted. The only problem is people too lazy to check the equipment specs before taking a critical measurements. |

My E36312A has arrived 8), eight weeks from order they must be popular? Keysight have a new promotion that includes this series of supplies (promotion code: 6.023), however as mine was ordered in August I wanted to take advantage of the previous promotion, code: 6.015. This is valid up to 31st Dec 2017 for items purchased between 1st April and 30th September 2017. I think there is a problem with the webpage. Choosing either E36311A, E36312A or E36313A from the "Model Number" drop-down list results in the all important "Serial Number", "Purchase Date" and "Purchased From" textboxes disappearing. Would a kind soul try the page and let me know of similar action? www.keysight.com/find/BIG5BenchClaim Yes, I'd like claim the U1242C :-DMM to replace my "one hung low" special. :) |

It seems all good things come to those who wait ;D Now they throw in a free U1282A dmm. I just pulled the trigger on a E36313A. That is the 160W version but when it comes to accuracy the specs are very close to the 80W version. For me the 80W version isn't going to cut it for a number of projects I find on my bench regulary. Edit: these PSUs seems to be popular. I have to wait nearly two more months before it will be delivered! :'( |
