The Keysight (formerly Agilent) N6700 Series is a family of low-profile modular DC power system mainframes designed to simplify test-system assembly in automated test equipment (ATE) and production environments. Offering 4 module slots in a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis, the series provides total power capacities of 400 W, 600 W, or 1200 W depending on the model. Fully customizable, it supports up to 22 different DC power modules and features fast command processing, standard GPIB, LAN, and USB interfaces, and advanced programmable capabilities including optional digitization and hardware triggering.
