Agilent/Keysight 6266A DC Power Supply

The Agilent/Keysight 6266A is a benchtop DC power supply delivering up to 36 V at 5 A with automatic crossover between constant current and constant voltage modes. Built on the Harrison LVR Series platform, it combines continuously variable voltage and current adjustment with both coarse and fine front-panel controls. Remote programming and remote error sensing enable integration into automated test systems, while auto-series, auto-parallel, and auto-tracking operation modes support multi-unit configurations for expanded capability.
