The Agilent/Keysight E3610A is a 30 W single-output DC power supply with dual-range capability, delivering either 0–8 Vdc at 0–3 A or 0–15 Vdc at 0–2 A. It operates in both constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes, making it suitable for general-purpose benchtop circuit development and validation. The unit features 10-turn potentiometers for fine adjustment, independent digital voltmeter and ammeter displays (10 mV and 10 mA resolution respectively), and an output on/off key for convenient control.
