Editing procedure
1.
Press the DISPLAY EDIT key to place the blinking cursor in either the source or com-
pliance display field to be edited.
2.
If desired, use the RANGE
and
keys to select the desired source or compliance
range.
3.
To simply increment or decrement the display value, use the EDIT
and
keys to
place the blinking cursor on the digit to be changed, then increment or decrement the
value with the SOURCE
and
keys. Note that the source or compliance value will
be updated immediately; you need not press ENTER to complete the process.
4.
To enter the source or compliance value directly, simply key in the desired value with
the numeric keys while the cursor is blinking. Again, the source or compliance value
will be updated immediately.
Toggling the source and measure display fields
Normally, the measured reading value will appear in the upper, main display line, while the
source and compliance values will appear in the left and right fields respectively of the lower
display line. You can toggle the source and measure display fields by pressing the DISPLAY
TOGGLE key to place the source and measure values in the desired display fields.
Basic connections
WARNING
The SourceMeter uses safety jacks for signal connections. To avoid
electric shock:
• Do not leave exposed connections.
• Properly insulate all external circuits.
• The front and rear terminals of the SourceMeters are rated for connec-
tion to circuits rated Installation Category I only. Do not connect the
SourceMeter terminals to CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV circuits. Connec-
tion of the SourceMeter Input/Output terminals, to circuits higher than
CAT I, can cause damage to the equipment or expose the operator to
hazardous voltages.
• Hazardous voltages may be present on the output and guard terminals.
To prevent electrical shock that could cause injury or death, NEVER
make or break connections to the SourceMeter while the unit is on.
Power off the equipment from the front panel or disconnect the main
power cord from the rear of the SourceMeter before handling cables
connected to the outputs. Putting the equipment into standby mode
does not guarantee the outputs are not powered if a hardware or soft-
ware fault occurs.
The three basic connection configurations for the SourceMeter include 2-wire local sensing,
4-wire remote sensing, and cable guard.
NOTE
Connections and details for in-circuit ohms measurements (ohms guard) are covered
in the “Advanced operation” section of this guide.
