Unified Multi-Instrument Control for Automated Test Environments
MagnaCTRL provides an integrated control framework designed for high-power DC test systems. Built to serve aerospace, automotive, energy, and research laboratories worldwide, it simplifies instrument management, sequence execution, and routine maintenance without requiring custom software development.
Multi-Product Dashboard
Monitor and control multiple Magna-Power DC power supplies and electronic loads concurrently from a single customizable interface layout.
Closed-Box Calibration
Perform precise calibration adjustments for voltage, current, and control loops via software without opening instrument enclosures or voiding warranties.
External I/O Configuration
Custom-map the 26-pin external user I/O connector with intuitive digital signal routing and save exportable profiles for deployment across multiple test bays.
Automated Firmware Sync
Automatically detect new firmware and software releases with seamless automated upgrade capability or perform offline manual upgrades for secure networks.
EEPROM Parameter Access
Inspect behind-the-scenes system calibration matrices, operating parameters, and hardware configuration logs with granular diagnostic clarity.
Seamless SCPI Integration
Complements native standard SCPI command interfaces over Ethernet/LXI, USB, and RS-232 for effortless integration into LabVIEW, Python, and C++ test benches.
Engineered for Precision Telemetry and Operational Efficiency
MagnaCTRL features specialized operating panels created to streamline instrument setup, routine testing, dynamic profile execution, and service diagnostics.
Product Explorer Panel
Automatically discovers all active xGen instruments connected across Ethernet LAN, USB, or RS-232 buses. Retains instrument parameters for instant re-connection across dynamic laboratory test sessions.
Dashboard Panel & Telemetry Control
Allows engineers to drag-and-drop live measurement widgets, setpoint controls, and status indicators across multiple connected power supplies and electronic loads simultaneously.
External User I/O Configurator
Provides complete control over the 26-pin external user I/O connector. Reassign analog programming scaling, digital control interlocks, and status feedback outputs to meet specific test stand wiring standards.
Calibration & Dynamic Control Loop Tuning
Facilitates precision gain and offset calibration for voltage and current channels. Guided interface allows authorized engineers to tune control loop responsiveness for complex reactive loads.
