Plug-in Controller Concept Provides Choice of Features

All L-Series models offer a choice of three controllers, allowing you to specify the levels of performance and control best suited to your requirements.
Type -P	the standard programmable controller, uses True RMS sensing, providing the most accurate output voltage regulation. Output settling times for the -P controller are longer than the -PT controller due to the RMS sense response time. With Type -P, transients are programmable over time or cycles.
Type -PT	uses a fast real-time servo, instantly creating exact waveform definitions ideal for applications such as switching DC power supplies where real-time feedback and fast output settling times are critical. The -PT controller is recommended for applications that require fast transients to be programmed over time or cycles.
Type -M	the manual controller, is ideal for portable or benchtop applications where local control is sufficient. An optional remote programmable voltage input can be added to allow amplitude control using a DC input signal.
Single and Three Phase Versions	All controllers are available in either single or three phase versions. For special applications, two phase or split phase configurations can be ordered as well. For three phase -P and -PT controllers, a phase mode option can be added which allows switching between both single and three phase output modes without the need to rewire the output terminals.
Measurements	Both -P and -PT controllers provide a full range of output readback measurements , either via front-panel display or over the standard IEEE-488 bus. Measurements provided are Volt RMS, Current RMS, Power, Apparent Power, Power Factor, Frequency and Phase.
Controller and Amplifier Options	The L Series is highly configurable using a wide array of options for both the amplifier and the controller. This makes the L Series one of the most versatile AC power solutions on the market. If your application requirements can not be met using any of the options listed here, contact the factory for configuration assistance.
