Kiprim 2-in-1 Programmable Power Supply and Multimeter (0-30 V 0-10 A) DC310Pro with Data Memory,High Precision,OCP,OVP, PC Software and USB Charging

Bought this power supply over the other options because It is affordable, has programmable features and a built-in Multi-meter. It's light weight and almost portable because of its size. Completely recommend it for home lab work and small projects!

I'm impressed by the programmable aspects of this supply/multimeter. I generally prefer to use separate devices instead of combined ones, but I can see the value of controlling both the power supply and the multimeter here through a single computer interface.Unfortunately, combining the meter and PS led to some display compromises. In particular, when you're dialing in voltage and current limits, the settings are displayed in a TINY font at the bottom of the screen. For my work setup, it ends up being extremely hard to read -- so hard, in fact, that I won't be using this as a general-purpose test power supply. I'll stick with one that has a more legible display, and reserve this one for tasks where I need automation or remote control.

I found that as a simple power supply this KiPrim DC310Pro works as expected and is able to meet its 30V 10A output specification without any problems. The power supply is quiet during operation with the fan turning on only when cooling is needed. The buttons do not make any noise when pressed, a plus for me. The settings are easy to adjust using the front panel buttons and rotary adjustment knob. I like that this power supply has a physical power switch that cuts all power from the device; it is on the rear of the unit as part of the AC power entry module.The main reason I picked up this power supply is because it is described as programmable and I can confirm that that is the case. I was able to use pyvisa to connect to the instrument and send commands to verify that I will be able to write Python programs for controlling this power supply. It supports SCPI commands, the full programming manual can be downloaded from a link provided on the last page of the included printed manual. I found that the instrument needs a baud rate of 115200.The built in DMM is an interesting feature that I did not fully test but did get a chance to play with a little. It also can be controlled using SCPI commands so this power supply could be set up to characterize a DCDC converter and measure the input and output power to get efficiency.Overall this is a feature packed power supply that I have only scratched the surface of its features. The display is easy to view and has the ability to show various different screens and plots. The ability to control this power supply with a Python script is a game changer for me when I am characterizing a circuit. I would highly recommend this power supply for anyone looking for a reasonably priced programmable power supply.

great for testing
