Power Supply Control Overview
This document outlines the functionalities and specifications of a Power Supply Controller (PSC) that transforms an analog-controlled power supply into a fully system-capable device. The PSC supports various interfaces and configurations to enhance its capabilities.

Operating Modes
- Constant Current
- Constant Voltage

Adjustable Limits
- Maximum current in voltage mode
- Maximum voltage in current mode

Data Interfaces
- RS232 (SCPI)
- USB (Virtual COM Port)
- Optional IEEE488 (SCPI)

Multichannel Systems
- Construction of multichannel systems, compatible with electronic loads of the ZS series
- 19" rack compatibility with three PSC control boxes

Functionality
The PSC allows for programming via RS232, IEEE488, USB, or H&H system bus. It can integrate multiple power supplies and electronic loads into a system with various sub-addresses. Programming is done using SCPI syntax.

Data Acquisition Tool (Option ZS13)
- Converts the power supply into a power, current, and voltage source with programmable waveform
- Features include adjustable rise speeds, exponential voltage or current changes, and synchronized fast data acquisition with data storage

Requirements for Power Supply
- Minimum: External programming of voltage and current with control voltage between 0 and 10 VDC
- Optional features: Monitor signals for voltage and current, TTL control signals for output on/off, and status signals for constant current or voltage operation, over-temperature, and over-voltage

Applications
- Integration of existing power supplies into computer-controlled test systems
- Construction of source-sink systems (power supply with electronic load)
- Simulation of power supply profiles for various consumers and switching devices

Technical Specifications
