The Agilent/Keysight 6612C is a 40 W single-output DC power supply engineered for laboratory and production test environments. This half-rack benchtop unit delivers 0–20 V at 0–2 A with fast programming, low noise output, and precision low-current measurement. It combines direct usability with full system integration via GPIB and RS-232 interfaces supporting the SCPI command set.
