1 | | -Modular programmable bench power supply is based on [EEZ H24005](https://github.com/eez-open/psu-hw) project and introduces new digital control and better modularity by using EEZ DIB backplane based on [DIB v1.0 specification](https://github.com/eez-open/modular-psu/tree/master/DIB%20v1.0) that allows adding of new functions in the future (e.g. multi-channel power source, 2/4-quadrant power module, multi-channel temperature sensor module, data logger, switch matrix, digital I/O expander, function generator, data acquisition module, etc.). |

| 6 | +### Introduction |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +EEZ Bench Box 3 (BB3) represents a new category of *modular* Test and Measurement (T&M) equipment. It provides a complete open-source hardware and software framework that bridges the gap between – and combines the best features of – DIY hobbyist tools and professional benchtop equipment. |
| 9 | +BB3 was inspired by the [EEZ H24005](https://github.com/eez-open/psu-hw) power supply project ([OSHWA UID HR000001](https://certification.oshwa.org/hr000001.html)), which attracted many enthusiasts with its broad feature-set, rich user interface, DIY-friendliness, and fully open-source design. |
| 10 | +It initially comes with two DC power modules (hence the name of repository *modular-psu*) and will be expanded with new T&M modules (e.g. multi-channel power source, 2/4-quadrant power module, multi-channel temperature sensor module, data logger, switch matrix, digital I/O expander, function generator, data acquisition module, etc.). |
| 11 | +BB3 is made up of the following components: |
