## Key Features
**Display and Controls:** High-resolution color LCD displays voltage, current, power, and status simultaneously. Rotary knob and soft keys enable efficient parameter adjustment. Front-panel ON/OFF button controls output. Remote sense terminals compensate for lead voltage drops.
**Protection:** User-settable overvoltage protection (OVP) and overcurrent protection (OCP) safeguard the device under test.
**Digital I/O:** Four digital inputs and four outputs provide external control and status monitoring capabilities.
## Typical Applications
Automated test sequences, device characterization, circuit validation, and production burn-in testing benefit from list mode programming and output sequencing with programmable delays.
## Compatibility & Integration
Scriptable via SCPI commands over LAN (LXI), USB, or GPIB. Command syntax is compatible with Keithley 2280, 2281, and 2400 Series instruments, enabling efficient script reuse across legacy and current platforms.
