IM 2560A-01EN
Explanation
You can select the resolution mode of the source voltage or current.
NORM: 5.5 digit resolution mode. 4.5 digit resolution in 30 A range. The default setting is NORM.
HIGH: 6.5 digit high resolution mode. 5.5 digit resolution in 30 A range. In high resolution mode,
temperature and resistance ranges cannot be applied and therefore cannot be selected.
• In high resolution mode, the least significant digit is shown in the most significant digit of the
deviation display. In high resolution mode, use the five main setting dials and deviation dial 1 to set
the main setting.
• In high resolution mode, the output divider, deviation output, sweep, and scaling features cannot be
used. Further, high resolution mode cannot be used for temperature or resistance ranges.
• If you flip the PRESET switch down to confirm the resolution setting, the 2560A returns from the
SETUP menu to source mode, and the range is set to 1 V.
Display example
When +10 V is set in the 10 V range and output is set to ON
• During NORM resolution mode (5.5 digits)
The following example is displaying the main s10.0000, scale MAX turned on, output divider
10/10, deviation 0.00%, preset 0, and output value +10.0000.
• During HIGH resolution mode (6.5 digits)
The following example is displaying the main s10.00000 (the main setting display is
s10.0000, the deviation display is showing 0 in the most significant digit, and together they
are s10.00000).
The output divider, deviation, preset, and output values are not displayed.
