OEM for Keysight N8900 Series DC Power Supply?
« on: June 19, 2015, 07:13:05 am »
Anyone know who the OEM for Keysight's N8900 autoranging system DC power supplies is?  Or is it a Keysight design.  I am pretty sure that the N5700 and N8700 series DC power supplies are designed and made by TDK Lambda but the N8900 series doesn't look like there Genesys line.

Looks like they might make it themselves.

I downloaded the firmware update and pulled it apart:

Code: [Select]
$binwalk N89XX-A_00_06.upd

DECIMAL       HEXADECIMAL     DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8             0x8             XML document, version: "1.0"
1321          0x529           gzip compressed data, fastest compression, from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT), NULL date: Thu Jan  1 01:00:00 1970
17138939      0x10584FB       Zlib compressed data, compressed, uncompressed size >= 95509
The gzip one looks interesting, extract this one:

Code: [Select]
$dd if=N89XX-A_00_06.upd bs=1 skip=1321 of=asdf.gz
$file asdf
asdf: Windows Embedded CE binary image
Umm, Windows CE, very likely to be Agi^h^hKeysight, let's confirm that:

Code: [Select]
strings asdf | grep Agile
AgilentLan488Server32.dll
AgilentPalCaps.dll
AgilentPalIO.dll
AgilentPalSStorage.dll
AgilentLxiUnmanaged.dll
AgilentSStorageUnmanaged.dll
AgilentSysMngmntUnmanaged.dll
...

So this one is absolutely original Keysight.

It's a hybrid, really. The power processing circuitry an OEM from Elektro-Automatik. Keysight then makes their own front panel, controller, and communications interface.
