4.0
I bought this for some product testing.
Plus: Super cheap, UI is fine, levels are stable, has USB
Negative: control interface is not well documented - the scpi commands over usbtmc listed in the docs do not match the operation - plus there are several HW versions and I got the old one (Perhaps the new one is better). On that note, the easy power software does work.
Tips:
1. Install ni-visa and use the trace program while operating easy power to sniff out the true commands.
2. use py-visa if using python for automation
3. See siglent's programming tips for this (line delimiters and timings do not match scpi spec)
4. Here are the commands that worked for me:
"*IDN?", "*SAV 1", "*RCL 1", "INSTrument CH1", "INSTrument?", "CH1:CURRent 00.300", "MEASure:CURRent? CH1", "CH1:VOLTage 05.000", "MEASure:VOLTage? CH1", "OUTPut CH1,ON", "OUTPut CH1,OFF", "OUTPut:TRACK 0", "SYSTem:ERRor?", "SYSTem:VERSion?", "SYSTem:STATus?"
Having said all that, I would buy again.

Power supply the covers most needs
5.0
The power supply comes in a strong box that has a volume twice that of the device it contains. There is enough padding material inside to protect the power supply and a silica gel pouch to absorb humidity. The device comes with several cables: power cable, USB cable, fork/alligator red/black cables, and banana/alligator red/black cables. There is also a booklet with instructions inside. The moment you take it out of the box you realize it's a good product. It is heavy and the craftsmanship is excellent. The weight comes from the transformer inside the device and the all metal construction. According to some online evaluations there is a toroidal transformer inside. That reduces weight and improves efficiency. It does not have many buttons and the dial is smooth. You don't need the manual to start operating the controls. Everything is basic but there is enough voltage and current output for the majority of your everyday applications. Series mode, parallel mode and the fixed voltages switch are all welcome features. The manual explains how to use the downloaded software to control the device through a computer (Windows only). All in all I find nothing to complain about.
