Product Summary
The AC/DC Smart Power Supply is a Bluetooth Low Energy wireless signal generator. It outputs DC as well as sine, square, positive square, and triangle AC signals. The maximum power output is 10 V at 1 amp and the maximum output frequency is 100 kHz.
The AC/DC Smart Power Supply is controlled through PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue software. The ability to control this power supply through Bluetooth makes it possible for users of Chromebooks, Android, and Apple IOS devices to do experiments with wireless sensors that require a power source.
Features
- Maximum Power: 10 V @ 1A
- Output Functions: DC, sine, square, triangle
- Output Frequency Range: 0.001 Hz to 100 kHz
- Software controls: Choose wave form, frequency, amplitude, and on/off in PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue
- Bluetooth or USB data connection
- Built-in output voltage sensor
- Current limit warning
- Programmable using Blockly code in PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue
- Blockly Library contains special functions for a long ramp and stepping through resonant frequencies.
Applications
- Power the Wave Driver (WA-9855) to show resonances in a vibrating string
- Power the Wave Driver (WA-9855) to show resonances in a Chladni plate
- Power the Mechanical Oscillator/Driver (ME-8750) to drive the oscillation of a Smart Cart and spring system
- Power a String Vibrator (WA-9857A) to show resonances in a vibrating string
- Use as a power source for DC and AC electronics experiments
