I love these power supplies! An awesome feature is the GPIB port on the back (it's basically a parallel port with a specific command set).

In college I bought a USB to GPIB adapter on ebay for like $100 and a few cables (you can daisy chain them together) and wrote some VBA macros to automatically sweep the voltage output over a range, and also connected to a frequency generator & oscilloscope to capture the data. My EE labs were done in a fraction of the time compared to my classmates!
