Verifying Operation
Checking Status on Front Panel
The 9510 / 9610 meter’s onboard status inputs and digital outputs can be
monitored using the
D Inputs
and
D-Output
softkey items. Two additional
softkey items have been added to monitor the status and values provided by the
I/O card’s Analog Input and Analog Output ports. These menus are located in the
main softkey list, and are named
DI-I/O
and
Anlg-I/O
.

The meter’s Vista screens have provisions for monitoring and altering the states of
each I/O port.
Testing Analog I/O Operation
Most analog devices (such as dial-type gauges) connected to your analog input
and output ports allow you to see whether the port is delivering current. If your
connected device cannot help you determine the port's operation, follow these
steps:
1.
Ensure that the meter is properly configured.
2.
Disconnect supply power from your meter and make sure that no static charge
remains in the circuit.
3.
Place an ammeter in series with the port.
4.
Power up the meter, and measure the current.
If your analog ports are not producing the output current as expected, contact
Customer Service.
