The red ERR LED on the 900a module may just be a temperature warm up time ~ 1 to 5 min., (?) ?to achieve LO oven stability.

Sure — injection molded parts are great, but the quality of those feet, when 3D-printed out of something strong like polycarbonate on a reasonably priced printer (~$750 range) would be entirely satisfactory. The layers can be thin and the exterior can be printed slowly to make it look just about perfect.
Discounting printer amortization, the consumables for a set of 4 of those feet would be a few dollars at most. You can get a lot of feet from 1kg of material...
Cheers, Kuba

Re: HP 6012B volt zero and current regulation
I made a constant current load at work, 100 amps 200 volts, of course with a control loop.? When first connected the loop is calling for max current and it made a big current spike.? As this was annoying (making cables jump), I changed it to have a slow start ramp, taking a second to ramp up.? That was pretty easy so I imagine it shouldn't be a problem making a voltage mode supply do the same, and I would expect any decent one to behave that way.
All that was said about control loops is true, you can't get out of that, it's all about the loop bandwidth and also every regulated supply has a particular response, which may be critically, under or over damped.? I have absolutely seen supplies ring in response to a transient load change.? I have also seen really really bad power supply behavior like a 40 volt 20 amp Harrison HP bench supply go severely overvoltage - completely wide open - when a noisy load was applied.? I literally GAVE that supply away.

Off subject – I still get duplicates – Joel STS SS ? ? I refined my test...
Instead of ramping the voltage with the knob. I basically set the voltage to 20V and the amperage to 2 amps. I connected the voltmeter in series with the bulb and performed a dynamic load test by opening and closing the circuit by touching the probe lead of the voltmeter to the output of the power supply... I also have the Fluke voltmeter set to peak amperage measurement and these are the results that I found.
With the 6012B set to 20V and 2A, upon closing the circuit the peak amps are 4 amps but quickly settles to 2 amps
With the 6024A set to 20V and 2 A, upon closing the circuit the peaks amps are about 2.5 but quickly settles to 2 amps.
The important observation here is the 6012B settles back to 2 amps, it seems the settle time is longer and the deviation is larger than the 6024A. Although these are two completely different supplies If anything I could be nit picking here on the 6012B for its regulation settle time and overshoot, which is why I wanted to see if someone else had a similar supply and could see if they could duplicate the same results to see if this is normal...
Thanks for the help
