I bought one from CPC some time ago. Twin unit, and does +/- rails at the
push of a switch. Shows voltage and current from both at all times - 4
displays.
Are the controls linear or push, encode etc?
Just knobs. ;-) Four which work independently when the two PS are
seperate, or just two of them when ganged.
Badged Circuit Specialists EU.
They seem to be pretty popular. ;-)
Been very pleased with it. It
does 0-50v so useful for testing power amp PCBs.
I was torn re getting something with a 50V output (and at least 3A)
but think the prices start creeping up.
It's neither small or light, though.
That's not a dealbreaker, if it ticks enough of the other boxes
(price, speed / ease of use, reliability etc).
It seems to do everything I want and hasn't annoyed me in any way. Which
is saying something.
I'm sure a SMPS one could be smaller, but I've built mine in on the side
of the workbench, so not taking up usable space. A bench top one would get
in the way at one point or another.
