QPX750 Instruction Manual
5.4.1
Meter colours
If the output is switched off, the meter volts and current will be displayed in
Grey.
If the output is turned on the active volts will be shown in Yellow.
If the output is turned off but there are still volts present from an external
source, that voltage measurement is shown in Red. Measured volts will show
in Red until the output caps are discharged. The pre-set values will then be
shown in Grey.
5.4.2
Load Impedance and power calculations
When the output is on, calculated load impedance
(
Ω
) and output power (W) can be viewed on the
meter underneath the voltage and current readings
(Power only on Home Screen). The calculated load
impedance function enables low resistance
measurements to be made at high currents, e.g.,
RDS(on) of power MOSFETs., by creating a four-
terminal connection, using the remote sense
terminals.
NOTE
Always use the Remote Sensing function to eliminate the effects of connecting lead and
contact resistance when making low value V/A measurements. See 'Remote Sense
Terminals’ for more information.
