The Agilent HP 6651A is a single output, series pass regulated power supply, with an internal GPIB interface and SCPI programming. This model provides many talker/listener functions including remote programming of voltage and current with feedback of actual measured output values. 

Using the serial link, up to 16 power supplies can be connected through one GPIB address. Test system integration can be further simplified be using the VXIPlug&Play drivers. The output voltage and current can also be controlled with analog signals. This is helpful for certain types of noisy environments, and also immediate reactions to process changes.

Lab bench use is enhanced by the fan speed control, which helps to minimize the acoustic noise.
