Agilent Technologies Announces Test of Time Power Supply Contest


What: The Agilent Test of Time Power Supply contest is designed to highlight the long standing use of Agilent DC power supplies. Two grand prize winners will be selected by age of the power supply and its life story use. Engineers who are currently using a vintage instrument are invited to write a short story about their DC power supply, telling how the instrument has been used over the years and how they are using it today to overcome test challenges.

"Agilent has 50 years of power supply expertise and more than 250 basic and high performance programmable DC power supplies designed to meet the needs of the many industries and applications," said Kari Fauber, marketing manager, Agilent's System Products Division, "The Test of Time contest embodies those ideals of leadership and long-standing reliability of our power supplies."

Entries will be judged on the age and the life story of the power supply.

Two grand prize winners -- one picked by Agilent and one voted by participating engineers - each will receive an Agilent N6705B DC power analyzer and three modules. Approximate value: US $11,000.
