Description
Not every test needs two equal rails. The Rohde & Schwarz HMP2020 supply pairs a strong main output with a lighter second one, so a power stage and its control logic can share one bench unit. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.

One heavy rail, one light rail
On the Rohde & Schwarz HMP2020 supply, channel 1 carries the current, while channel 2 serves as an auxiliary rail. That split fits a load that draws a lot, such as a motor driver or a battery charger stage. The second channel then powers the sensors or the controller that watches it. Because the channels are independent, each rail can serve its own power domain.
Do the power math first
The headline numbers never apply together. A full 32 V on channel 1 cannot also give 10 A, since that would be 320 W against a 160 W limit. At 16 V, channel 1 can give the full 10 A. Likewise, channel 2 reaches 5 A at 16 V. Add both loads and keep the sum under 188 W. So the Rohde & Schwarz HMP2020 supply rewards a little planning.
Write down the steady current and the startup surge for each rail. Then leave some room for the conditions you plan to explore.
Sensing and programmed patterns
Remote sensing helps the Rohde & Schwarz HMP2020 supply compensate for voltage lost in your leads. EasyArb adds programmed output patterns, so a rail can step or ramp on a plan. However, remote control requires an optional interface, so check the installed module first.
Rent or buy the Rohde & Schwarz HMP2020 supply
A rental covers a short development run, a repair bench or a training course. A purchase suits a station that powers boards every day.

HMP2020 questions
Which channel gives the 10 A?
Channel 1 reaches 10 A and 160 W. Channel 2 reaches 5 A and 80 W.
Can both channels hit their full rating together?
No. The two channel limits add up to 240 W, but the instrument stops at 188 W in total.
What do I need to control it from a PC?
Remote control needs an optional interface. Ask Lost in HCM which module the unit carries before you plan any automation.
