OUTPUT Section
Use the OUTPUT section to turn the voltage, current, resistance, or temperature output on and off.
OUTPUT switch
When the 2560A is in remote
communication mode and you flip the
OUTPUT switch down, the 2560A
switches to local mode (except during
local lockout (see section 9.4)).
ON indicator
OFF indicator
Output display (output display example for
+100.000 V)
6-digit 7-segment LEDs are used.
Unit
indicators
Output ON
Flipping the OUTPUT switch up turns the ON indicator on. The specified voltage, current,
resistance, or temperature (the thermoelectromotive force or resistance corresponding to the
specified temperature) is generated from the output terminals.
The output value generated from the output terminals is shown on the output display.
Output OFF
Flipping the OUTPUT switch down turns the OFF indicator on. The signal generation from the
output terminals is stopped. The output display shows a bar (
).
OUTPUT DIVIDER Section
Use the OUTPUT DIVIDER section to divide the output range equally.
m dial
Sets the denominator, m, of the divider value. The range is 4 to 15.
Turning the m dial resets numerator n to the denominator m value.
n dial
Sets the numerator, n, of the divider value. The range is 0 to m.
n display
Indicates the numerator of the divider value
m display
Indicates the denominator of the divider value
When the output is turned on, the voltage, current, resistance, or temperature divided at n/m is
generated from the output terminals.
