Power forward
Designs change—and so should your DC power supply. Meet the
E36100, engineered by Keysight to power your designs safely and
quietly during manual tests or automated sequences. From every
anglesize, display, and I/O—the E36100 will impress you. Add
one to your bench and power forward.
–  Choose the best model for your needs: ve models offer up to 
5 A or 100 V
Save space on your bench or in the rack with the compact,
2U ¼-rack form factor
Connect for computer control with standard LAN (LXI Core)
and USB connectivity
Perform manual tasks quickly with the intuitive on-screen
menu system
Easily view the high-contrast OLED display from anywhere on
your bench, even from a sharp angle
Protect your device under test (DUT) with overvoltage and
overcurrent detection
–  Power your DUT with condence through excellent accuracy 
in programming and readback
Accurate, reliable power
The E36100 Series is the latest addition to Keysight’s industry
standard family of bench power supplies, backed with Keysight’s
standard 3-year warranty.
Power your DUT with excellent voltage and current programming 
and readback accuracy. Use the power supply’s highly accurate
low-current measurement feature for demanding measurements.
Protect your DUT with built-in overvoltage and overcurrent
protection, and count on the built-in overtemperature protection
to keep your power supply safe.
Excellent front-panel usability
The clean design of the E36100 Series front-panel lets you
become productive with the unit very quickly. The easy-to-use
rotary knob and keypad interface allows you to set the output
at your desired resolution quickly and easily, with digit-by-digit
control. You can store and recall up to 10 complete power supply
setups from non-volatile memory in order to quickly change
instrument states. The output on/off key quickly turns the output
on and off.
Fast, industry-standard programming
Every E36100 Series model ships standard with both LAN (LXI
Core) and USB (TMC488). The easy-to-use SCPI (Standard Com-
mands for Programmable Instruments) programming language
lets you create fast and simple programs with transient response
faster than 50 µs and fast command processing time–less than
10 ms. You can also program the instrument with the power
supply’s Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVI) driver.
Use the Keysight IO Libraries Suite (www.keysight.com/nd/
iosuite) to accelerate your programming. The IO Libraries’
instrument-centric view and auto-discovery of instruments get
you connected to your instrument quickly.

Simple, powerful soft front panel
When you cannot be near your DUT, open your browser and con-
trol the instrument via the power supply’s bullt-in Web interface,
with a look and feel that replicates the front-panel experience.
BenchVue control and visualization
BenchVue software for the PC makes it simple to connect,
control, and view Keysight power supplies simultaneously with
other Keysight bench instruments without programming.
Visualize the outputs of multiple power supplies
simultaneously
Log data, capture screen shots, and save a system state
Recall a past state of your bench to replicate results
–  Export measurement data in desired format fast
Quickly access manuals, drivers, FAQs and videos
Monitor and control bench from mobile devices
The power supply app within BenchVue lets you control power
supplies, visualize voltage and current output, log data, and
annotate captured data (included in BV0000A, available as a free
download at www.keysight.com/nd/BenchVue). Upgrade to the
Pro version (BV0003A) for unrestricted data logging with limit
checking and status alerts. Use the companion BenchVue Mobile
app to monitor and respond to long-running tests from anywhere.
Easy power and I/O connection
Connect for computer control with standard LAN (LXI Core) and
USB connectivity. Use the security slot to keep the supply on your
bench.
Do you need to convert the power supply for different mains
power? The two switches on the bottom of the instrument make
it straightforward. See the product manual for details.
