To set the output to:
-10mV
1. Press the following keys:
1 0 +/- m V
2. The display then shows the requested output level:
-10.00000mV
•
To set the output to:
20.0035mA
1. Press the following keys:
2 0 . 0 0 3 5 m A
2. The display then shows the requested output level:
+20.00350mA
Note that the output level is displayed using the same multiplier as used
during the entry of the output level, thus entries of:
1V , 1000mV
and
1000000uV
.
Each achieve an output level of:
1V
, but the display format will differ. Note
also that the selection of polarity should be made during the entry of the
numeric data, pressing the +/– key before pressing any numeric keys causes
the present output level to reverse its polarity.
Caution: For voltage outputs always specify value in millivolts to prevent
damage to equipment.
If the entered output level is beyond the capabilities of the instrument, then
the closest possible output level is selected, and a warning message is
displayed for approximately two seconds.
Changing Displayed Multiplier
The output level is displayed using the same multiplier used during the data
entry. Pressing the same multiplier key as is presently displayed will deselect
the multiplier.
To reformat the display data use the multiplier keys to select the desired
format for the output level. Pressing the multiplier key that is not presently
displayed, reformats the display. See the examples below.
