The Aim-TTi PL303-P offers remote control and read-back using analog,
RS232, USB, LAN (LXI) interfaces. They retain all of the capabilities of the New
PL Series when under manual control.
When working with any particular piece of equipment, engineers often require
a voltage source variable over only a narrow range. Set the voltage too high and
damage might occur, set it too low and the circuit may reset.
That‘s where the V-Span function of the Aim-TTi PL303-P comes in. It
allows the user to redefine the end-stop values of the voltage control to define
a specific voltage range.
An engineer is working on a circuit that will eventually operate from four
NiMh cells. They use V-Span to set a Vmax of 5.8V (to prevent over-voltage
damage) and a Vmin of 3.6V (to ensure that the circuit doesn‘t reset). They now
have a power supply which provides high resolution analog control over the exact
voltage range they need.
