Overview of the Keysight Battery Emulator (E36731A and BV9211B) - Workbench Wednesdays

[@donbarr9487]

Dear Manufacturers: I'm not specifying, or buying, test bench hardware that requires a software subscription to use installed features.

[@jeremycurtis7506]

Same issue. Had a unit on demo, but the annual ransom to be able use a core functionality of the product was too much. Plus the Benchvue suite is pretty buggy.

[@jrkorman]

At that price the menus, etc best be PERFECT!

Keysight = stuff i will never be able to afford but i really, really want.

[@awo1fman]

Yeah, $5,000.00 hardware that requires a subscription for its main functionality. That's a hard NOPE!

[@MAYERMAKES]

A battery emulator would have helped a lit on my current project ...would have made the design phase a lot more reliable. 😂 when you transition towards real engineering tools start to matter a lot more....😢

[@ybe6655]

Indeed. Workbench for the industry or the rich hobbyists

[@TMS5100]

$5000 and subscription software? yeah, no. i'm beginning to wonder who element14 is making videos for. hobbyists or megacorporations?
