Features
A power supply for experiments. It’s well-built, and despite its compact size, it provides stable voltage and current output, making it very convenient to use. I’ve actually found it very useful in various experiments. Because it’s compact, it takes up very little space on my desk. -
Points to Note
Since it’s compact and has few keys—and because certain functions require specific key combinations—it’s best to get used to how it works beforehand. For example, turning the power on and off requires a short press, which is useful when you need to shut it down quickly. However, its compact size more than makes up for this. Please note that external control from a PC or other device requires the included dedicated cable. If your PC has a Type-C USB port, it might seem like you could use a Type-C to Type-A adapter directly, but when I actually tried connecting it, it didn’t work. It may require shorting the C1 and C2 lines to GND. -
Special Notes
Some enthusiasts have released the control software. I considered writing my own, but since this one is far superior—including the design—I’ll use it. If I ever need a special power supply configuration, I might write my own.
