The Agilent/Keysight 6012A is an autoranging DC power supply delivering up to 1000 W across a continuous 0–60 Vdc output range. The unit automatically adjusts voltage and current within its power envelope, eliminating manual range selection. Ten-turn potentiometers provide precise control, while large digital displays and status LEDs (CV, CC, Unregulated, Overvoltage) enable real-time monitoring. Maximum output current reaches 50 A with load regulation of 0.01% ±5 mV (voltage) and 0.01% ±15 mA (current). Ripple and noise performance is specified at 8 mV rms / 50 mV peak-peak (voltage) and 120 mA rms (current).
