I rarely hear about folks using the RS232 in instruments. Your setup might make for a nice vid. |

A classic RS232 interface is better than a USB simply because there is no call for the speed, voltages, protocols, etc. of USB for simple SCPI communication and anyone who doesn't have a 9 pin (or 25 pin, remember them?) D connector on their PC can always purchase a ridiculously cheap USB<->RS232 converter lead anyway (I sniped my last one for less than $1.50 shipped - bloody Shenzhen!) Something I noticed on the RIGOL website - both supplies DP711 and DP712 are rated at 150W but clearly the DP711 with a 3A 30V output is only 90W. This would appear to be a typical RIGOL marketing attempt at letting the hackers get the DP711 and upgrade it by software, while leaving the DP712 to the corporates. Am I right? ;) ;) ETA: DOH! DP712 is 50V at 3A. In this case I would imagine it's not just a RIGLOL job :palm: |

Is this PSU hackable to enable high-res mode and trigger? |
