Hi Steve. I rarely hear about folks using the RS232 in instruments. Your setup might make for a nice vid.
Macbeth:
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:

I'll add it to the list! Currently moving house though hence no videos for a while :--

Simone, do you maybe have any news? When you will publish your video about DP711 in action? :)
Thnx! :)
vvmm:
Is this PSU hackable to enable high-res mode and trigger?
