Measurement Mode

(See section 7.1 for the procedure)

The following five modes are available. Fixed Function is the normal mode.

Measurement OFF (Off)

Does not perform measurements. Select this mode when only the source function is to

be used.

Fixed Function

Measures using the specified measurement function.

Auto Function

Automatically selects the measurement function according to the following conditions.

This mode is used to make measurements when there is a possibility of a limiter being

activated.

• Current measurement (IM) when using voltage source (VS) and voltage measurement

(VM) when using current source (IS).

• If a limiter is activated, the GS820 automatically switches to the other measurement

function (from current measurement (IM) to voltage measurement (VM) or from
voltage measurement (VM) to current measurement (IM)).

Voltmeter Mode (V-Meter)

Operates as a 0-A current source and functions as a voltmeter by measuring the voltage.

In this mode, the source function, source range, limiter, and measurement function

settings are fixed exclusively for Voltmeter Mode and cannot be changed. Measurement

settings other than the measurement function can be changed.

Ammeter Mode (I-Meter)

Operates as a 0-V voltage source and functions as an ammeter by measuring the

current. In this mode, the source function, source range, limiter, and measurement

function settings are fixed exclusively for Ammeter Mode and cannot be changed.

Measurement settings other than the measurement function can be changed.

Resistance Meter Mode (R-Meter)

Operates as a constant current source that generates a measuring current that is

determined by the resistance measurement range, measures the voltage, and calculates

the resistance as a result. In this mode, the source range, limiter, and measurement

function settings are fixed exclusively for Resistance Meter Mode and cannot be

changed. Measurement settings other than the measurement function can be changed.
