Configuring V-Source
Perform the following steps to configure the V-Source:
1.
Press the CONFIG key and one of the VOLTAGE SOURCE keys (OPER,
, or
)
to display the following configuration menu:
RANGE: Select the 100V range or 1000V range.
V-LIMIT: Control (on/off) and set a voltage limit (absolute value).
RESISTIVE LIMIT: Control (on/off) the resistive (1M
Ω
) current limit.
METER CONNECT: Control (on/off) the internal connection between V-Source
LO and ammeter LO.
2.
Use the menu items to configure the V-Source. A menu item is selected by placing
the cursor (using the
and
keys) on it and pressing ENTER. Options for a menu
item are selected in the same way. Parameter values are changed using the cursor
keys and the RANGE keys, and then pressing ENTER. See “Menus” previously in
this section if you need more information to navigate through the menu structure.
3.
Use the EXIT key to back out of the menu structure.
Relative
Rel subtracts a reference value from actual readings. When rel is enabled, the instrument
uses the present reading as a relative value. Subsequent readings will be the difference
between the actual input value and the rel value.
Actual Input – Reference = Displayed Reading
The rel (relative) operation is enabled by pressing the REL key (REL annunciator turns
on). Pressing REL a second time disables rel. You can also enter and enable a rel value
from the CONFIG-REL display.
A rel value can be established for each measurement function. The state and value of rel
for each measurement function are saved when changing functions. Once a rel value is
established for a measurement function, the value is the same for all ranges.
Configuring rel
To check or change a rel value for a measurement function, perform the following steps:
1.
Select the desired measurement function.
2.
Press the CONFIG key and then the REL key to display the present rel value.
3.
Use the cursor keys (
and
) and the RANGE keys to change the rel value and
press ENTER. The instrument will return to the normal display state with rel
enabled.
