Brief description
To develope a dual output 0-30 volt 0-1 Amp linearly controlled mains input bench power supply utilising digital methods to provide independent control of the output voltage and current. Apply compensation for transient and reactive applied loads ensuring good output stability and recovery. Provide a digital display indication of either output voltage or current. The power supply should provide the ability to have the independent outputs connected in either series or parallel.
