The BK Precision XLN6024 is a 1.44 kW single-output programmable DC power supply engineered for benchtop and system integration applications. It delivers 0–60 V DC at 0–24 A with 1 mV voltage and 1 mA current resolution. The compact 1U, 19-inch rack-mount form factor integrates into automated test systems via USB and RS485 interfaces, supported by SCPI IEEE488.2 command compliance. Low-noise output (6 mVrms / 70 mVpp, 20 Hz–20 MHz), tight load regulation (8 mV voltage / 7 mA current maximum), and programmable slew rate control enable demanding electronic testing without auxiliary conditioning.
