The Keysight N6701C is a 600 W, 1U low-profile modular power system mainframe engineered for ATE and benchtop test applications. This four-slot mainframe accepts up to four N6700 series DC power modules, delivering flexible voltage, current, and performance configurations. The N6701C provides GPIB, LAN, and USB connectivity with LXI Class C compliance and integrated web server control. Fast command processing, output sequencing up to 512 settings, and 10 store-recall states accelerate test development and throughput.
