DEVIATION/PRESET Section
Use the DEVIATION/PRESET section to set the deviation as a percentage of the output range.
Deviation dial 2
Sets the second decimal digit at a resolution of 0.01 You can turn this
dial with less force.
Deviation dial 1
Sets the first decimal digit at a resolution of 0.2
For both dials, carrying over and borrowing occur automatically within the ±20.00% selectable range.
For instructions on how to use the SETUP menu, see section 4.2.
Deviation display
4-digit 7-segment LEDs are used.
Polarity
indicator
PRESET switch
Selects the deviation preset
PRESET indicator
The indicator of the preset selected with the PRESET switch
turns on.
When the output is turned on, the voltage, current, resistance, or temperature with the deviation added
or subtracted is generated from the output terminals. In high resolution mode, the most significant digit
of the deviation display is used as the least significant digit of the main setting, and deviation dial 1 is
used to control the least significant digit.
SWEEP Section
Use the SWEEP section to perform up or down sweeps.
SWEEP switch
UP indicator
DOWN indicator
UP Sweep
Flipping the SWEEP switch up when the output is on turns the UP indicator on. The 2560A starts
sweeping toward main setting (MAX). If you flip the SWEEP switch down while sweeping up or if
sweeping reaches sweep end value, a beep is sounded, and sweeping stops (HOLD state).
DOWN Sweep
Flipping the SWEEP switch down when the output is on turns the DOWN indicator on. The 2560A
starts sweeping toward main setting (MIN). If you flip the SWEEP switch up while sweeping down or
if sweeping reaches sweep end value, a beep is sounded, and sweeping stops (HOLD state).
If the set range is 400 Ω (resistance), even if the destination value for down sweeping is less than
1.00 Ω, the output resistance will not decrease beyond 1.00 Ω. The output display will show “1.00”
blinking.
