The mainframe contains two E4362A modules:

The E4368A is a preconfigured solar array simulator consisting of one E4360A mainframe and two E4362A modules. It is shipped as fully tested and assembled dual output solar array simulator. The Keysight E4362A is a 600W solar array simulator DC power module that simulates the output characteristics of a solar array. The E4361A is primarily a current source with very low output capacitance. It offers fast I-V curve changes allowing you to accurately simulate the output of different solar arrays under various environmental conditions (ex. temperature, age, eclipse, spin etc.).

Additionally, the E4360A SAS mainframe saves valuable rack space with its 2U high size. LAN, USB, and GPIB interfaces are standard. To simplify test system software development, the 14360A System Control Tool software package is shipped free with every E4360A SAS mainframe. This software simplifies the programming and control of multiple SASs. It allows a single function call to setup and control up to 100 E4360 outputs in a SAS system.

The E4360 SAS is available as a standalone off-the-shelf instrument and is also available from Keysight integrated into a full turn key solar array simulator system configured to your exact specification with all the instruments and the software integrated and installed.

Overview

The Keysight N6710C is a 400 W build-to-order system that ships as a fully tested and assembled multiple-output power supply. Each N6710C consists of 1 N6700C mainframe and from one to four 4 DC power modules. Modules are ordered as options to the N6710C.

The N6700 Low-Profile Modular Power System offers small size with up to four outputs in 1U of rack space; GPIB, LAN, USB, and LXI compliance are standard. Select from more than 20 different DC power modules, ranging in capability from basic to high precision and in power from 20 - 300 W.

Small size

The Keysight N6700 MPS uses an advanced switching power supply design that fits within 1U of rack space (1.75 in./44 mm). It has side air vents (no top or bottom air vents), so you can mount other instruments directly above or below it. The unit does require a rack mount kit.   

Built-in measurement of voltage and current

The N6700 modules come standard with built-in voltage and current measurement capabilities to simplify the wiring and design of an ATE system. 

Protection features

Each N6700 module is protected against over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature. A fault condition in one module can be detected within 10 microseconds by other modules so that they can be quickly shut down to avoid hazardous conditions on the device under test (DUT). 

Output Sequencing

Each DC power module or electronic load can be individually set to turn on or off with a delay. By adjusting the delay times and then commanding the N6700 to turn on, you can set the N6700 modules to sequence in a particular order. The same sequencing capability is available to shut down the modules in a particular order.

Output sequencing can be extended across multiple N6700 mainframes for applications that require the sequencing of more than four DC power or electronic load modules. When the I / O ports on the rear panel of the mainframes are wired together, a pair of synchronization signals can be sent between mainframes, enabling the output sequences of all mainframes to be synchronized. The N6700C, N6701C, and N6702C mainframes support this capability. 

Programmable Slew 

For some applications, like inrush limiting or powering rate-sensitive devices, it is necessary to slow down and control the speed of the power supply to maintain a specific voltage slew rate. The N6700 provides a programmable voltage slew rate so that you can easily control the speed at which the output slews from one voltage to another.

You can set the speed of a voltage change anywhere from its maximum up / down programming speed to its slowest change of up to 10 seconds. Programmable voltage slew is available from the front panel when operating the N6700 manually or via computer control. For the electronic load family, slew control is available for voltage, current, resistance, or power.
