- Value:
- These power supplies are targeted towards users who need features not found in the value line such as remote sense. Many models offer a programming interface, but programmability is often limited and not SCPI compliant. Speed and accuracy are less important. Ideal for most general purpose applications.
- Basic:
- These power supplies offer the best in simplicity with their easy-to-use functions. All supplies provide can be controlled from the front panel only, and many models come with analog meters. Ideal for students, hobbyists, service and repair personnel and other users that do not need all the extras.
