The Keysight/Agilent/HP 6032A is a single-channel autoranging DC power supply delivering 0–60 Vdc at 0–50 A with 1200 W maximum power output. Autoranging circuitry optimizes power delivery across the full voltage–current operating envelope, while precision programming and readback accuracy enable demanding test benches and production environments. The instrument switches automatically between constant-voltage and constant-current modes, includes over-voltage protection and current limiting, and supports both analog/resistance control and remote command via GPIB (IEEE-488) with industry-standard SCPI commands. Four AC input voltage ratings (87–250 Vac) accommodate global mains standards.
