Agilent/Keysight 6294A DC Power Supply

The Agilent/Keysight 6294A is a compact DC power supply delivering 0 to 60 VDC at 0 to 1 A output, designed for electronic testing, circuit development, and low-power device characterization. Dual-mode operation supports both constant voltage and constant current delivery, with integrated metering for real-time voltage and current monitoring. The instrument features a 10-turn voltage control potentiometer and a dual-range front-panel meter covering 0–7 V, 0–70 V, 0–0.12 A, and 0–1.2 A ranges.

Built-in overvoltage and overcurrent protection safeguard connected loads. Remote programming capability enables integration into automated test systems. Though discontinued, the 6294A remains operational for legacy applications and specialized testing requirements.
