Product Description

Triple Output, 195 Watt Power Supply   Build Remote Communication You can build the remote communication between DP800 and PC over USB, LAN, RS232 or GPIB (option, can be extended via the USB-GPIB interface converter) interface. Remote Controls Methods User-defined Programming You can program and control the instrument using the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) Send SCPI Commands via the PC Software You can control the power supply remotely by sending SCPI commands via the PC software (Ultra Sigma) provided by RIGOL. SCPI Command Overview SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is a standardized instrument programming language that is built upon the standard IEEE488.1 and IEEE 488.2 and conforms to various standards (such as the floating point operation rules in IEEE754 standard, ISO646 7-bit coded character for information interchange (equivalent to ASCII programming)). This section introduces the syntax, symbols, parameters and abbreviation rules of the SCPI commands. SCPI Status Registers All the SCPI instruments execute the status register operations in the same way. The status system records the various instrument states into three register sets: status byte register, standard event register and questionable status register sets. The status byte register records the advanced summary information reported by other register sets. The SCPI status systems of the DP800 series multi-channel models.   OVERVIEW   The Rigol DP832 is a very high quality programmable laboratory power supply with three switchable outputs (+30 V/3 A, +30 V/3 A and +5 V/3 A) and a maximum power output of 195 W. Like all Rigol devices, the power supply features a very well constructed nd easy to use interface offering comprehensive ease-of-use functions, such as programmable voltage curves. The menu has an intuitive structure. The Rigol DP832 features a relative large (8.9 cm / 3

This is a very flexible power supply and has a decent UI. The rotary keypad is odd, as others have commented and I'm not sure why Rigol chose this since there other stuff has a normal layout. You might see some complaints on places like the EEVblog about overheating but in my unit (made July 6, 2015, this is not a problem. This unit also has firmware 1.14 which corrects some other issues you might read about.

Why not 5 stars? Simple, this supply arrived with channel 1 significantly out of calibration. That is the voltage you set using the keypad was neither the voltage you got or the voltage you read on the display. There are calibration procedures available in a manual you can download from Rigol NA's website. Have a 5 1/2 digit DMM available and be prepared to spend some time with the 40 point procedure. Now the instrument is correct for all three channels +/- about 15 mV. If you do this, the password for the manual calibration is "2012" It was odd that only channel 1 was off.

Another issue that most likely will not bother most users is the presence of a 12-14 Vrms AC voltage between each of the output terminals and chassis ground. Most of the time you would not care since you would want the DC output to float with regard to ground (be isolated) but this is still odd. See the attached scope output

One of the most useful pieces of test equipment I own. The ability to display watts without doing the math is great. - the three channels are all within spec for my unit. Changing parameters is easy. I have not used any of the more fancy functions, but just the general power supply features are worth the price.

One nice thing is that the screen does not have to be red, you can adjust the colors - its just not fancy multicolored. I have mine set to white.

Great machine yet not all features are enabled which is a bummer. Its like buying something from motorola. It contains all the hardware for the features but requires a license key to activate Ethernet etc.. Otherwise its a good all around power supply.

So far I have loved this power supply. It is cheap for the what it does and for the market... But only 4 stars because what is not cheap is the software upgrades. North 100USD each. I bought the high resolution, and I think I will buy all of them... but still I think they are a bit overpriced.

Another great product from Rigol. I was again worried I'd be stuck with a bad Chinese knockoff, with a bad GUI and screen interface. It's been great! The circular number buttons don't take much getting used to. Lots of features, very heavy (that's a good thing), very good output, great interface, the free "upgrade" tricks worked for me.

I've had this supply for ~ a year and I've been very happy with it. As others have mentioned, the calibration of the output voltage & current can be slightly off out of the box. It addition, the display shows the measured voltage and current (a great feature) and these can be off as well. I used the calibration password "2012" and the instructions from the internet along with a bench DMM to recalibrate everything and now it is spot on. It's as nice a power supply as any hobbyist could ever want - not cheap, but worth it.

Very good, especially considering the price point.

What matters to me:

- Has both OVP and OCP. Quite a few more expensive power supplies have no OCP.
- Good UI. The default view shows everything you normally care about. This is much better than 7-segments. I switched UI color to white for more contrast.
- Good accuracy. I measured it with my Fluke 87V both un-loaded and loaded (although my DUT consumed only <0.5A total). You probably don't need that much voltage accuracy (current is another thing though) but it doesn't hurt to have it.
- Ramp up seems smooth (again according to my Fluke 87V). I should have measured it with my new scope (also Rigol) though.

Catches:

- I know some people are bothered by the unconventional numpad layout (old-styled pulse-train telephone anyone?) but I find it okay.
- Ch2 and Ch3 share the same negative terminal potential. Ch3 is intended to be a digital supply anyway (5V max) so it doesn't bother me as much.

Great unit. Costs a few bob, but is one of the most used tools in my shop.
