Programmable DC with arbitrary transient sequencing
The DC side of military land-platform testing — wide input, and transients you cannot produce with a bench supply.
Answers directly to
What it is for here
Def Stan 61-005 Part 6 asks for 9 to 36 V operation on nominal 12 V and 24 V platform systems, and for the DIT08.B load dump: a loose battery terminal on a heavily loaded system. You cannot generate that profile by turning a knob. It needs arbitrary transient sequencing and a source that survives producing it.
Why it is on the UK site
Land platforms are where British defence work concentrates, and this is the document it is assessed against.
Specifications
A system’s figures follow from its configuration — the instruments in the rack and what the sequence asks of them. Rather than reprint a table for a configuration you may not need, send the requirement — the standard, the device under test, the power envelope and the cadence — and an engineer will come back against the current document.
