3-35. AC Current Verification
The setup to measure the topline and baseline of ac current uses the HP 3458A triggered
by a change in input level (see Table 3-12 for HP3458A settings). The trigger level is set
to 1% of the DCV range, with ac coupling of the trigger signal. Connect the precision
resistor assemblies, as indicated, to the banana jacks on the front panel. Connect the
DMM to the precision resistor. Set the HP 3458A to DCV, Auto Range, NPLC = 10,
FIXEDZ = on. Use the same delays and settings used in the section “AC Current
Calibration”. Record the HP3458A readings in Table 3-13.
