Overview

The Agilent N6700 Modular Power System (MPS) mainframes offer solutions for automated test system environments as well as R&D. The N6700 MPS provides three key benefits: small size, fast processing speeds and flexibility. The Low-Profile mainframes of the N6700 simplify test-system assembly, programming, debugging and operation. Its flexibility, small size, and fast command processing time make it ideal for ATE and production test environments.

The Agilent N6700 MPS is the 1U (1.75" or 45 mm) high, multiple-output DC power supply targeted at automated test applications. Within that small rack space, the Agilent MPS modular power system gives test system designers the flexibility to configure a 1- to 4-channel DC power system at up to 300W per channel that is optimized to meet specific test requirements.

The Agilent MPS also enables test engineers to use the PC standard software environment they are comfortable with - whether it is textual, graphical or a spreadsheet - and it provides the choice of PC standard I/O to simplify test system set-up. The new platform architecture offers a system-ready power supply optimized for both price and performance in either stand-alone operation, or for increased throughput in a more complex test system environment. The N6700 also provides universal serial bus (USB 2.0), 10/100 Base-T Ethernet (LAN) and general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) interfaces as standard features. This allows quick and simple connectivity to a PC, other instruments in a test system, or to a network for access across an engineering workgroup. The Agilent N6700 can also be operated remotely from any browser by connecting to its built-in Web-page for control and monitoring of power supply operations.

Whether you are an R&D engineer under time pressure or a manufacturing test engineer trying to cut costs or increase throughput, there is a N6700 mainframe and set of DC power modules that will suit your needs. The family includes 4 mainframes and over 30 DC power modules.

Key Applications: Automated test applications, ATE systems in R&D, design validation, and manufacturing.
