Technical Deep Dive
Core Technology Architecture
Features "PWM Modulation + High-Precision Feedback" architecture: 16-bit DAC enables analog programming (0-5V control signal range), feedback loop includes high-precision voltage/current sensors (Source: Keysight N5700 series whitepaper). Built-in LXI Class C protocol stack supports LAN remote control with <100ms response time (Based on DC power supply standards).
| Technical Dimension | N5741A | Competitor (Tektronix PA1500) | Comparison Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interface Type | GPIB/LAN/USB (LXI Class C) | USB/GPIB only | Official specifications comparison |
| Voltage Ripple (20Hz-20MHz) | 3mVrms | 5mVrms | RS Components model comparison |
Automated Test System Power Workflow
Connection: LAN interface direct to test network, 4mm banana plugs + remote sense lines (reduces lead voltage drop)
Configuration: SCPI commands "VOLT 12; CURR 5" with preconfigured templates (e.g., "Comm Module Test"), setup in 2 minutes
Analysis: Real-time ripple and load regulation monitoring (≤0.01%), 10 updates/sec
Output: USB export voltage/current curves (CSV format), Excel-compatible
Technical Usage Boundaries
When ambient temperature exceeds 25°C±5°C, voltage programming accuracy degrades 0.001%/°C (Source: Keysight N5741A FAQ). Mitigation: ① Enable temperature compensation (accuracy loss <0.005%); ② Use temperature-controlled environment for short-term tests.
