Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.
The output voltage can be programmed and monitored in the 0 ÷ 12 kV range with 1 V monitor resolution.
The Maximum current full scale is 100 μA, with 10 nA Iset/Imon monitor resolution.
The board features the CPE HV output connectors and the relevant coaxial cable connectors (Mod. A997) are also available.
Independently programmable for each channel:
Output voltage: | 0 ÷ 12 kV | step: 1 V |
Current limit | 0 ÷ 100 μA | step: 10 nA |
V Ramp up/down: | 1 ÷ 500 V/sec | step: 1 V/sec |
TRIP parameter | 0 ÷ 999.9 s; 1000 s = Infinite | step: 0.1 s |
Safety features allows the module to perform as a current generator and includes:
Channels | can be enabled or disabled through the Global Interlock logic. |
Overvoltage and Undervoltage warning | when the output voltage differs from the programmed value. |
Overcurrent detection | when a channel attempts to exceed the programmed current limit, it signalled to be in “overcurrent” and enter in a TRIP status. The output voltage is varied to keep the current below the programmed limit for a programmable TRIP time, then the channel is switched off. If TRIP is set to “constant current mode”, the channel behaves like a current generator. |
Hardware VMAX | maximum output voltage can be set, via front panel potentiometer, at the same common value for all the board channels. VMAX value can be read out via software. |
Safety Board Interlock | this protection disables the HV generation when the HV outputs are not connected to their loads. |
Accessories available:
- HV coaxial cable connector (Mod. A997)
