Control multiple networked power supplies from the same graphical application. 

# Features

## 🌐 Remote Ethernet control

Connect to multiple bench-top power supply units over Ethernet (VXI11 or LXI protocols). Name each channel for easy identification.

![Overview](images/Overview.jpg)

## ⚡ Four ways to control power output

* Individual channel control.
* Power all channels on/off simultaneously.
* Group any combination of channels to control simultaneously.
* Define power on/off sequences with configurable time delays in between.

## 🗠 Real-time voltage and current waveforms

View plots of the previous 10 minutes of voltage and current measurements for each channel.

## 🎛️ Easy power supply channel controls

Set voltage, current, and 2/4-wire sense mode.

## 🗒️ CSV logging and plotting

Log voltage and current measurements to CSV files. Plots are automatically generated from each CSV.

## 🔄 Store GUI configuration

Save and load multi-device configuration files to quickly restore settings.

## 💥 [Advanced Mode] Latchup toolbar

* Automatically power cycle all active channels when a current limit is reached.
* Latchup Clear button automatically steps down channel voltage until latchup state is cleared and then returns to nominal voltage.
* Logs time and count of current limit events.
