The Keysight N6705C is a 4-slot DC power analyzer mainframe that consolidates sourcing and measurement into a single instrument. It delivers up to 600 W total output power and accepts N6700 series DC power modules to create a customized test platform. The mainframe integrates a precision digital multimeter (DMM), oscilloscope, arbitrary waveform generator, and data logger—eliminating the need for separate benchtop instruments.
