On Time in Program Sequence Mode is not correct on my 9170/9180 series Power Supply

2019-12-23

Problem:

 Using the program sequence mode built-in to the 9170/9180 series DC power supply, the timings that I configured for each steps' "On Time" period is not correct when measured with an oscilloscope.

Solution:

This problem is corrected in Main firmware version 2.02 or above and Module version 1.17 and above.  To correct this, please update the firmware of your device, which requires a Windows XP or 7 OS PC computer with a USB connection.

Download the firmware files here, and follow the included PDF instructions step by step to update both Main and Module firmware of the power supply.
