The HP/Agilent 6032A is a 1000 W autoranging DC power supply delivering 0–60 V and 0–50 A output. Its autoranging topology maximizes available power across the voltage-current operating envelope, eliminating the need for multiple supplies and reducing ATE rack footprint. The unit combines precision analog control with full SCPI programmability, making it suitable for automated test systems, product development, and burn-in applications requiring stable, regulated power delivery.
