General Information 1Series E4360 User’s Guide 11Output FeaturesLow output capacitance Low output capacitance allows faster output response time inconstant current operation.Fast up/down voltageprogrammingLess than 8 millisecond response time from 10% to 90% of theoutput rating.Fast I-V curve change Fast I-V curve change in both SAS mode and Table mode.Fast switching recovery Switching recovery is less than 5 microseconds.Programmable voltageand currentFull programming capability is provided for the entire range ofoutput voltage and current. Outputs can operate as either constantvoltage (CV) or constant current (CC) sources.Output paralleling forhigher powerTwo outputs can be configured to act as a single output with highercurrent and power capability. Up to four outputs can be paralleled.Remote voltage sensing Two remote sensing terminals are provided for each output. Seechapter 2 for details.Voltage and currentmeasurementsAll output modules can measure their own output voltage andcurrent.Voltage, current, andtemperature protectionEach output has over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, andover-switching protection. Over-voltage and over-currentprotection are programmable. When activated, the protectioncircuits cause the voltage to go to zero, the output to be disabled,and the protection status to be reported.System FeaturesSCPI language The instrument is compatible with the Standard Commands forProgrammable Instruments (SCPI).Fast commandprocessingCommand processing time of less than 1 millisecond percommand.Choice of threeinterfacesGPIB (IEEE-488), LAN, and USB remote programming interfaces arebuilt in.Front panel I/O setup Menus let you set up GPIB and LAN parameters from the frontpanel. See chapter 3 for details.Built-in Web server A built-in Web server lets you control the instrument directly froman internet browser on your computer. See chapter 3 for details.Internal table memory Up to 30 tables can be stored in volatile memory; up to 30 in non-volatilememoryReal-time statusinformationThe front panel indicates the status of each output. It also indicateswhen a protection shut-down has occurred.Module identification Each module has identifying data stored in non-volatile memory.Information includes model number, serial number, and options.This information can be displayed on the front panel.Fan speed control Fan speed control circuits minimize acoustic noise.
