14585A Control and Analysis Software for the DC Power Analyzer
Important Note
The 14585A software is available to download free of charge. However, a license is required when connecting the 14585A software to an N6705A or N6705B DC Power Analyzer mainframe. The license resides inside the N6705A/B, not on the PC, and is specific to the mainframe’s serial number. Any copy of the 14585A software can connect to an N6705A/B mainframe as long as the mainframe has a license installed in it. See “How to Order a License” below for more information. Try the software for free with the 30-day trial license.
Features
- Control any N6700 DC power module when installed in the N6705 DC Power Analyzer
- Graphical user software - no programming required
- Control and analyze data from up to four N6705 mainframes at once; that’s up to 16 power supplies simultaneously
- 4 modes of operation: scope (waveform capture), data log, CCDF statistical analysis (N6781A only), and ARB (waveform creation)
- Accurately capture current drain measurements from seconds to days at up to 200,000 measurements per second (in scope mode) directly to a PC
- Enhanced control and analysis of data –use familiar PC controls and large display
- Easily create complex waveforms to stimulate or load down a DUT by inputting a formula, choosing from built-in, or importing waveform data
- Capture a waveform, then “play” it back
- Perform statistical analysis of power consumption
- Export data to a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet or text file
- Data log measurements directly to the PC
Description
The Agilent 14585A control and analysis software is designed to control the advanced functions of, as well as analyze the data taken from, an N6705 DC Power Analyzer via the familiar controls of a PC.
The software can be used to control any of the 24 DC power modules in the N6700 family when they are installed in an N6705A/B mainframe. With one instance of the software, up to 4 mainframes can be controlled simultaneously. Since the N6705 can hold up to 4 DC power modules, that’s up to 16 power supplies at the same time.
Perform waveform capture, long-term data logs, or create arbitrary waveforms for up to 16 power supplies, from basic to precision, depending on your application.
Perform advanced battery drain analysis, such as CCDF statistical analysis, when the N6781A SMU is installed.
Evaluate the Agilent 14585A Software for free for 30 days – there is no charge for the 14585A software. However, a 30-day license per mainframe is provided with every copy of the software. The license key is "IJXXGKFFLJFCRQDEJCCMTQUU" (without the quotes).
