Performance Verification
2.
Select the multimeter DC volts function.
3.
Set the Model 2430 to both source and measure voltage by pressing the SOURCE V and
MEAS V keys, and make sure the source output is turned on.
4.
Verify output voltage accuracy for each of the voltages listed in Table 1-4. For each test
point:
•
Select the correct source range.
•
Set the Model 2430 output voltage to the indicated value as measured by the digital
multimeter.
•
Verify that the Model 2430 voltage reading is within the limits given in the table.
NOTE
It may not be possible to set the voltage source to the specified value. Use the closest
possible setting, and modify reading limits accordingly.
5.
Repeat the procedure for negative source voltages with the same magnitudes as those
listed in Table 1-4.
6.
Repeat the entire procedure using the rear panel INPUT/OUTPUT jacks. Be sure to
select the rear panel jacks with the front panel TERMINALS key.

Output current accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that Model 2430 output current accuracy is within specified
limits. The test involves setting the output current to each full-range value and measuring the
currents with a precision digital multimeter.
