DPS3340 Discovery USB Programmable Power Supply

steveradecky

DPS3340 is a three channel variable DC programmable power supply. It allows users to control the power provided to external circuits. Providing both constant voltage and constant current modes with built in readback sensors and optional tracking for the output channels, users can confidently power circuits according to their requirements.

The included WaveForms software application enables the use of three programmable DC outputs. The software features a friendly user interface that has the feel of traditional benchtop software. The Discovery USB Programmable Power Supply communicates with WaveForms via a USB connection to your computer, allowing users to control the power supply outputs and enable overcurrent protections.  In addition to the use of instruments in the application, the WaveForms application has a script editor tool, which allows custom scripting of the instrument in JavaScript. WaveForms is designed to be run on a laptop or desktop computer and is Mac, Windows, and Linux compatible. The DPS3340 can also be used with other Digilent Test and Measurement devices like the Analog Discovery Series of products.

  • The following instruments are available in the WaveForms application for the Discovery USB Programmable Power Supply:
    • In stand-alone mode:
      • Power Supplies
      • Waveform Generator
      • Meter
    • In conjunction with another Digilent Test and Measurement device:
      • Power Supplies

For even more customization potential, the WaveForms Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to create custom applications and scripts in Python, C, and additional languages. The Discovery USB Programmable Power Supply is also compatible with LabVIEW and the Digilent Toolbox add-on available for MATLAB.
