The HP/Agilent 6035A is a programmable autoranging DC power supply designed for automated test systems and benchtop applications requiring high voltage and moderate current delivery. This single-output source delivers 0–500 VDC at 0–5 ADC with 1050 W maximum power and intelligent autoranging across three operating points: 200 V/5 A, 120 V/10 A, and 60 V/17 A. The unit combines precision analog and resistance control with SCPI command compatibility, making it suitable for both manual operation and fully automated test environments.
