V and I display modes (Single and Dual)
Measured output voltages and currents are displayed with the Single or Dual V and
I display modes selected. These display modes are selected as follows:
1. Press the
DISPLAY
key.
2. Press the
▲
or
▼
keys to scroll to
SINGLE V AND I
or
DUAL V AND I
.
3. For Single V and I, press the
or
keys to scroll to Channel
#1
or
#2
.
4. Press the
ENTER
key to select.
Voltage readings are located on the top line of the display and current readings are
located on the bottom line for single V and I mode. For Dual V and I mode, the top
line shows voltage, current and output state for Channel 1 while the bottom line
shows voltage, current and output state for Channel 2.
NPLC rate
The integration (reading) rate of the instrument is specified as a parameter based
on the number of power-line cycles (NPLC), where 1 PLC for 60Hz line frequency
NOTE
To display measured readings if the instrument is in the settings
mode, press the SET key until the blinking stops (the measured
readings can then be displayed). To determine if the instrument
is in the settings mode, check for a blinking cursor in a digit of
the voltage or current field (if present, the instrument is in the
setting mode).
NOTE
For dual channel mode, the Dual Channel display mode shows
voltages, current and output state for both channels. For single
channel mode, the single channel display mode shows voltage,
current and output state for the active channel only.
