I really just want a solid HV power supply... Voltage and current
control with banana plugs. I don't want PWMed power to 'simulate'
lower voltages (though having the ability to PWM and reverse the
polarity would be ideal for some experiments). I don't care if there
is a display or knobs, that could just as well be done via serial
control, etc...
