Reliance. Brilliance. Inspired by the enduring power of a brilliant star, the California Instruments Asterion line of AC power sources by AMETEK Programmable Power combines intelligence and flexibility to create an advanced platform of AC solutions. This easy-to-configure design features sophisticated technology for delivering high performance, programmable AC and DC power. Its sleek design packs maximum power density into a low-profile form factor with an intuitive touch screen interface placing that power at your fingertips. Centralized control and unparalleled modularity make Asterion the most adaptable platform on the market. Its groundbreaking capabilities set the standard for affordable, precision power sources. Maximize rack space utilization with leading AC power density in 1U/2U/4U chassis. Employ full output power over widest voltage range with iX2TM technology. Quickly and expertly control the AC source with intuitive touchscreen. Control via Front Panel Touchscreen & Encoder or available digital control interfaces. The Asterion AC Series is Digital Signal Processor (DSP) controlled and can be operated from the intuitive, easy to use front panel touchscreen or the Ethernet LXI, USB and RS232 standard control interfaces, as well as through the optional GPIB control interface. The touchscreen function group icons include a Dashboard, Output Programing Parameters, Measurements, Sequencing, Configuration, Control Interfaces, Applications, and System Settings. Function selection and parameter entry can be achieved either by direct selection from the touchscreen 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.

Product Data Sheet iX2TM Constant-Power Mode Output Characteristic The iX2TM Constant-Power mode has an output characteristic where full rated output power is available from 50% of full-scale output voltage to 100% of full-scale output voltage, as depicted in the graphs of Figure 1 1 and Figure 1 2. The output current versus output voltage follows a constant-power relation where the output current would be 200% of the full-scale value when the output voltage is 50% of full scale. The current ratings are also a function of output frequency, as shown in Figure 1-1 for the AST 751, AST 1501,...
