7.1 Turning Measurement On and Off
Procedure
1.
Press
MEASURE
to display the following menu.
2.
Press the
Meas
soft key to select On or Off.
Explanation
On (
Measurement on)
When the source function is set to voltage, the GS200 measures current. When the
source function is set to current, the GS200 measures voltage. The GS200 performs
measurement when output is on. The measured value is displayed in the upper-left
section of the screen.
Measured value
When the source range is set to 10 mV or 100 mV, you cannot use the measurement
feature. The measured value area displays “Cannot measure in mV source range.”
If the measured value is greater than the positive limit of the measurement range, the
measured value area displays “+OVER.” If the measured value is lower than the negative
limit of the measurement range, the measured value area displays “–OVER.”
Off
(Measurement off)
Measurement is not performed. The measured value area displays “Off.”
Note
• When you turn measurements on, noise may be superimposed on the source output
depending on the operation of the GS200 internal measurement circuit. To reduce noise in
the source output, turn measurements off.
• When measurements are being performed, the timing of measurements may be affected if
you:
• Change a setting that is saved when the GS200 turns off (see appendix 1).
• Copy or delete files from a PC.
• On GS200s without the measurement (monitoring; /MON) option, nothing is displayed in the
measured value area.
