Extensive device protection
To safeguard your device from  
damage, the N8700 series power 
supplies provide over-temperature, 
over-current and over-voltage pro-
tect (OVP) to shut down the power 
supply output when a fault occurs. 
They also offer an undervoltage 
limit (UVL) that prevents adjust-
ment of the output voltage below  
a certain limit. The combination  
of UVL and OVP capabilities lets 
you create a protection window  
for sensitive load circuitry.
Simplify system connection
The N8700 offers many system  
oriented features to simplify and 
accelerate test system development.  
They support the industry standard 
SCPI commands and come standard 
with software drivers.
Withbuilt-inGPIB,Ethernet/LAN,
andUSB2.0interfaces,theN8700
gives you the flexibility to use your 
I/O interface of choice today and  
in the future. 
Additionally, the built-in Web  
server lets you operate, configure, 
and monitor the N8700 remotely  
via a standard browser such as 
Microsoft® Internet Explorer. 
Analog programming and monitoring
The output voltage and current can
be programmed from zero to full
scale by either an analog voltage
0 to 5 V or 0 to 10 V or by resistance 
of 0 to 5 kΩ or 0 to 10 kΩ.

Notes: 
8
 From 10% to 90% or 90% to 10% of rated output voltage, with rated, resistive load.
9
 From 90% to 10% of rated output voltage.
10 
For 8 V - 15 V models the ripple is measured from 2 V to rated output voltage and rated output current. 
   For other models, the ripple is measured at 10 - 100% of rated output voltage and rated output current.
