models 9120A, 9121A,
9122A, 9123A and 9124 are laboratory grade
Programmable DC Power Supplies providing
great performance and features not found in
other supplies in this price category. The 9120
series are designed to meet the needs of today’s
applications in R&D design verification,
production testing or university labs that require
clean and reliable power, high resolution and
accuracy and fast transient response time.

Front Panel Operation
The numeric keys and rotary knob provide a
convenient interface for setting output levels
quickly and precisely. Voltage and Current can
be set to a maximum resolution of 0.5mV (2mV
for 9124) and 0.1mA respectively. Up to 50
parameters can be stored and recalled from
internal memory.

Models 9120A, 9121A, 9122A, 9123A & 9124
Remote Interface
The power supplies can be remotely controlled
from any PC with USB or RS232 interface,
allowing the user to program and monitor all
parameters through easy to use SCPI commands.
The power supplies come with a RS232 to TTL
serial converter cable and a USB to TTL serial
converter cable. Additionally, model 9123A can
be controlled via GPIB interface and includes a
GPIB to TTL conversion adapter cable.

Extra Features
The 9120 series’ digital port offers a variety of
configurations. The port can operate in Digital I/O,
external Trigger and DFI/RI (Discrete Fault
Indicator/Remote Inhibit) mode. The RI feature can
be used for turning several power supplies On/Off
simultaneously. External triggering can be used in
combination with List mode.
The included Application Software supports front
panel emulation and allows users to generate
simple test sequences without the need to write
source code.
Additionally, the power supply comes with a built-in
51/2 digit DVM and high resolution milliohm meter
supporting 4 wire measurements.
