The Rigol DP821 is a high-quality programmable laboratory power supply with two outputs (60V/1A and 8V/10A) and a maximum power output of 140W. Featuring a 3.5" monochrome TFT display, this power supply offers high-precision voltage and current control, overvoltage protection, and programmable timer control. It also includes NABL Calibration Certificate and comes with a 3-year warranty..
What it is
Programmable DC power supply for labs and production.
Precise voltage and current control for everyday tests.
Outputs and power
Two channels: 60 V at 1 A, and 8 V at 10 A.
Total power up to 140 W for small to mid-size devices.
Display and curves
Simple UI with clear menus.
See live signal curves to spot spikes and dips fast.
Catch transient peaks and set safe current limits.
Sequencing and automation
Program steps once and run in order.
Use the timer to change voltage and current at set intervals.
Cut manual work and keep tests repeatable.
Output analysis
Built-in analyzer shows stats for V, I, and W.
Check average, mode, and variance to judge stability.
Tune limits with real numbers, not guesses.
Precision
Add HIRES-DP800 for 1 mV and 1 mA resolution.
Test sensitive parts with tighter margins.
Remote control
Use SCPI from a PC or test rack.
Work with LabVIEW for logging and scripts.
Fit easily into multi-device setups.
Protection
OCP, OPP, OTP, and overvoltage on board.
Alarms warn early; shutdown protects the load and the supply.
Display
Read fast on a 3.5" monochrome TFT.
See voltage, current, power at a glance.
View real-time curves for dynamic checks.
Output Monitoring
Track the live output state.
Set limits once; trigger warn, shutoff, or beep when crossed.
Timer & Sequencing
Automate steps with a programmable timer.
Store up to 100 settings; run them in order at set intervals.
Get repeatable tests with minimal manual work.
High-Resolution Measurement
Resolve fine changes: 1 mV and 1 mA with HIRES-DP800.
New DP800 units include HIRES preinstalled.
Diagnose small drifts with confidence.
Connectivity & Remote Control
Plug in easily: USB and LAN on hand; GPIB and RS-232 optional.
Send SCPI commands for full control.
Use LabVIEW for scripted runs and data capture.
Protection
Stay safe with OCP, OPP, OTP, overvoltage, and reverse alarm.
Protect both the supply and your device under test.
