    Variable Power Supply

    Thank you everyone, for the great recommendations. I chose to go the route of the programmable power supply, I found one that'll control 0-40VDC at 3A, which is right up my alley. It uses serial control, an easy solution for LabVIEW. The power supply will come in handy for future tests, so...

    Variable Power Supply

    Another major issue on forums such as this is dealing with PRESUMPTIVE PEOPLE. Who said I wasn't coming back? I work for a living, and have been extremely busy lately. For further clarification of my requirements: I will be using a National Instruments DAQ board that has an analog output of...

    Variable Power Supply

    Sorry for the confusion. Input: 1 to 5 volts, variable. Output: 18 to 36 volts. When I mentioned the ~48V power supply, I should have used the word "reference" instead of "source". I'm thinking that with a constant DC source that's above the output I'm looking for, I can take the power...

    Variable Power Supply

    Perhaps I could run a DC power supply with a constant output of say, 48 or 50 volts (whatever might be common above 36 volts) as a source, and have some sort of electronic voltage divider condition the output?

    Variable Power Supply

    Good point. I can just as easily make it 1-5VDC.

    Variable Power Supply

    I need to create a power supply that will provide 18-36VDC from a variable 0-5VDC input. The output load will not exceed 600mA. The supply does not have to be precise or finely filtered. Any tips?
