The Agilent/Keysight 6031A is a single-output, 1064 W autoranging DC power supply delivering 0–20 V at 0–120 A. Built for demanding test systems, it combines analog/resistance voltage and current control with full programmability via HP-IB and SCPI, enabling flexible integration into multi-unit configurations. The autoranging architecture maximizes power delivery across the entire operating range, eliminating the need for multiple supplies and reducing rack footprint.
