Voltage and Current Measurement Feature (Monitoring feature; /MON option)
The GS200 can measure voltage or current while it generates voltage or current. In
voltage source mode, you can measure current with a display resolution of 4½ digits. In
current source mode, you can measure voltage with a display resolution of 4½ digits. You
can use the store feature to save the measured value together with the source value to
the internal RAM disk.
The monitoring feature can be used to:
• Check that current is flowing.
• Check and inspect current consumption.
• Log fluctuations in the load current.
• Record V-I characteristics.
