IM 2560A-01EN
Explanation
When the output is turned on, the 2560A will source the specified voltage, current, or resistance from
each output terminal.
• The output terminals vary depending on the selected range. See section 5.1. Before turning on the
output, make sure that the lead wires are connected to the proper output terminals.
• If you change the range setting, the output automatically turns off.
• The output display shows the output value, and the unit indicator turns on. However, in high
resolution mode (see section 8.1), the output display shows nothing.
