HIGH ACCURACY PROGRAMMABLE DC/AC SOURCE
The 5018 is a versatile instrument that covers a wide range of applications. It can be configured as a simple
benchtop DC voltage source or advanced AC/DC voltage and current calibrator controlled via PC or laptop,
performing any number of tasks as part of a complex ATE test rig.
RAMPING FEATURE
The 5018 includes an internal ramping feature. A ramp rate per range for each function can be set via a PC.
The option to ramp the output can be turned on or off via the front panel. This is particularly useful in aviation
and automotive industries for testing analogue gauges.
SIMPLE OPERATION
Front panel operation allows the user to quickly set the function and output required. Using the jog / shuttle
dial deviation the user can finely adjust the output value as a percentage (+/- 99.99%). All this information
is shown on a clear, easy to read LED display.
GPIB, RS232, AND USB INTERFACE
These interfaces allow the 5018 to be connected to a PC and controlled by an external program such as
Time Electronics’ EasyCal calibration software. The 5018 uses a SCPI command structure for programming.
This makes writing control programs in Visual Basic, C and Labview a simple task.
CALIBRATION MADE EASY
Connect the 5018 to a PC or laptop (via RS232, GPIB or USB) installed
with Time Electronics EasyCal software and automate the calibration
process. Increase speed of calibration and consistency of results. Easily
produce calibration certificates and reports to ISO 9001, ISO 17025, and
other international quality standards.
EasyCal has the ability to control a wide range of programmable instruments
and comprehensive ATE systems can be configured to control a variety of
applications. It has full read back capability and therefore can perform
closed loop testing. Conditional tests can be configured to allow decision
making to further enhance the usefulness.
