Following up on the success of HCS series high power supplies, here comes up with this new range of low power supplies based on the feedbacks from end users. The new HCS3100 add an USB port for access to computer to run cyclical operation with programmable voltage, current, period time and cycles. The on-housing presets, separate remote control, rotary encoder dual action control for easy tuning of voltage and current, and all the features of the original HCS are kept. In addition it is of universal AC input voltage . It is probably the most cost effective Remote Programmable Power supply with such advanced features and protections. Itis ideal for laboratory, university, work shop, production, quality control and sophisticated DIY applications.

{tab Apps for Raspberry Pi}
Tablet PC becomes popular. MANSON thinks this will be a common platform for remote control console.
MANSON prepares an application in iPad/Android for Power Supply remote control and Digital Power Meter remote monitoring.
To enable MANSON USB ready devices to being managed in this platform, we use Raspberry Pi technology to make the connection happen.
You can connect Manson Power Supply and DPM with USB portto Raspberry Pi B model. Then they can be remotely controlled through TCP/IP network from iPad/Android.
To enable this feature, it just needs two things.
- Driver to run in Raspberry Pi. It can be downloaded in this page.
- iPad or Android apps. Search Manson Power Supply in Google Play or App store.
Please follow instruction in file to configure driver in Raspberry Pi
