Just bought a GW-Instek GPP-4323 power supply-First impressions etc.

Given the small offset I strongly doubt you can make it any better. Just look at how small it is compared to the full range. IOW: don't mess with it; you'll likely make it worse.
julian1:
32V/3A is quite a lot. Does it have a switching pre-regulator?

Hardly, plenty of linear PSU's have such specs.
Martin.M:
set it to:
12V 5mA to understand why the question for this small offsets is interesting :)
We have to add it to the setting. I have payed this 800€ to have a trustful current control in small areas.
Otherwise any chinese PSU for 120,- can do the job also

Exactly!! Lots of folks that haven't worked in research labs with advanced SOTA semiconductors that are highly susceptible to damage by just slight over voltage or over current, don't appreciate having a precise voltage and current limit. Almost 50 years ago we lost well over $20K of chips because of a lab supply slight overshoot on start up, that's why I won't consider Korad (think a Rigol also had an overshoot issue), I'll let others play Russian Roulette :o
I hosed up a SDP3303X-E by not following the calibration procedure and created a current offset that now I can't remove...all my fault |O
With this offset I'm reluctant to use this supply now for any precision work, since I know from experience it will come back and bite me sooner or later. Just now, I've got ~$3K of chips sitting on the other side of the supplies I'm using, so very careful with setting a reliable and accurate current limit, as well as voltage.
The SDP3303X-E are good (after augmentation), and I can rely on a few ma for current limit if required, but suspect the GPPs are better.
Wish someone would figure out how to remove this current offset on the one SDP3303X-E we have, the other 2 are fine. However, for now it's not going to see any serious use because of the offset.
Best,
