70.71 Vrms Switch 

 
A hole located above [Coarse] knob. Pressing the switch in the hole with a small-size screwdriver for 6 
seconds launches the hidden 70.71 Vrms voltage setting function. When outputting 70.71 Vrms signal, 
user can press the hidden switch again or directly turn off the power switch, to stop the high voltage 
output. 
 
Under the manual mode, the [70.71 Vrms] option can be selected to test a higher CMRR value.

Front Panel 

 
The front panel of CMRR 3.0E is shown in figure 5-2. Please see instruction to each terminal as below: 

 

Figure 5-2, the front panel of CMRR 3.0E 

 

Connectors on the front panel are mainly used for power supply, USB connection and calibration. 
  

5.2.1

 

Tapped Hole 

 

The front and back panels each has two tapped holes for fastening the shielding cover or the shielding 
case which is a CMRR 3.0E optional accessory. 

 

 

5.2.2

 

USB Connector 

 
Once connected to a PC, CMRR 3.0E can be commanded by CMRR 3.0E PC software or CMRR 3.0E SDK 
(Software Development Kit).
