5.2 Specifying the Output Setting and Polarity
Procedure
Specifying the Output Setting
Turn the
output setting
dials to set the source voltage, current, or resistance.
The display shows the specified voltage, current, or resistance.
Setting the Polarity
Flip the
POLARITY
switch up or down to set the polarity.
Example of setting 1.5000 V
Unit
Use each output setting dial to set the corresponding digit value,
shown by the frames.
Carrying over and borrowing occurs automatically within the
selectable range.
