Advanced Intelligent Control
The Asterion DC Series DC Power Supply is operated from the intuitive, easy-to-use front panel touchscreen display. Quickly access output programming parameters, measurements, configuration, and system settings from the touchscreen interface. Functions and parameters can be directly selected from the touch screen or by using the encoder selector button.
The control resolution is adjusted by a dynamic rate change algorithm that combines the benefits of precise control over small parameter changes with quick sweeps through the entire range.
Applications
The Asterion DC ASM Series is designed for testing today’s complex electronics, including telecommunications and commercial electronics requiring low-profile, lightweight DC Power supplies with high power density. Other applications include:
- Military and aerospace electronics test
- Test & Measurement of ATE applications
- Semiconductor testing and burn-in
- Commercial manufacturing and process control
- Research and development
- Automotive component and battery testing
