Record the value displayed on the controller. This value should be within the
limit of (I
O
± 5 mA) for output1 or (I
O
± 10 mA) for output2.
7 Program the output current to the full scale rated value (3 A)
†
by sending the
command:
CURR 3.0 (E3646A model)
8
Divide the voltage drop (DVM reading) across the current monitoring resistor
(R
M
) by its resistance to convert to amps and record this value (I
O
). This value
should be within the limit of:
9 Readback the output current over the remote interface by sending the
command:
MEAS:CURR?
10 Record the value displayed on the controller. This value should be within the
limit of:
11 Repeat steps (1) through (10) for the other output.
CC Load Effect (Load Regulation)
This test measures the change in output current resulting from a change in the
load from full rated output voltage to short circuit.
1
Turn off the power supply and connect the output to tested as shown in
Figure A-1 with the digital voltmeter connected across the 0.01
9
current
monitoring resistor (R
M1
).
2 Turn on the power supply. Select the output to be tested and the low voltage
range (8V/3A)
†
, enable the output, and set the display to the limit mode. When
the display is in the limit mode, program the output voltage to the full scale
rated value (8.0 V)
†
and the output current to the full rated value (3 A)
