Hi John, A simple check is to measure the output with an HP 3400A or HP3400B. These are true RMS meters (AC coupled) with 10 Hz to 10 MHz BW and capability to handle VERY high crest factors and still give an accurate readings. They go down to 1 mV FULL-SCALE which should be sensitive enough for checking bench supplies.

They seem to work well but are quite old, so of course one wonders about the caps, etc. Can someone suggest a practical test regime to verify power supply DC noise performance? Preferably one that doesn't require building up custom low noise amps? Thanks!
