The Keysight N6705A DC Power Analyzer Mainframe is a highly integrated, 4-slot modular instrument that combines up to four advanced DC power supplies, a digital multimeter, oscilloscope, arbitrary waveform generator, and data logger into a single compact benchtop solution. Designed to dramatically improve R&D productivity, it eliminates the need for external transducers or complex multi-instrument cabling. Fully programmable and LXI Class C compliant, it features dedicated front-panel controls, color-coded terminals, and a large color display for seamless sourcing and analysis of DC voltage and current.
