STEADY-STATE CURRENT SOURCE – ROTARY SWITCH 1
Rotary Switch 1 provides a means to control the current level through the on-board
1
sense resistor in fifteen discrete steps (see
Section 3.6.1 “Steady-State Current
). To demonstrate this, complete the following steps:
1. In the Chip Manager application, select Bus Monitoring from the left pane to show
registers. Right-click a V
SENSE
range and add it to the registers to plot (see
Section 4.1.2 “Selecting Registers to Plot”
FIGURE 5-1:
Selecting Register to Plot.
2. Turn all rotary switches to the “0” position.
3. Go to the Control menu and start the plot.
