ABSTRACT:
A programmable power supply having a plurality of channels wherein each channel is adapted to output a selectable DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current or AC current. Each channel is adapted to select a DC reference signal or an AC reference signal and to scale the selected DC reference or the AC reference to output the selected signal. The outputted selected signals are monitored to provide a monitored channel signal indicating the value of the selected signal. The programmable power supply outputs monitored channel signals for each of the channels in a human perceivable format such as a display or printed format. At least some of the channels are adapted to be connectable to a temperature probe which outputs temperature signals and, in this embodiment, the temperature signals are monitored to provide monitored channel temperature signals, the monitored channel temperature signals being outputted in a human perceivable format such as a display or printed format or both.
