In the product pdf it says 2 x 0 - 30V and 0 - 3A If you want something very basic and simple, two LM317 are enough. One sets the voltage followed by another to limit the current. eg pot to vary V and rotary-switch for I, perhaps in a 1, 2, 5 sequence by choice of feedback R, monitored and displayed by a PIC Joe --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
