5.12 Turning the Output ON/OFF and Zero Source
Procedure
Turning the Output ON/OFF
1.
Press the
OUTPUT
.
The OUTPUT key illuminates while the output is ON.
If you press
OUTPUT
while the output is ON, the output will stop.
When the output stops, the OUTPUT key turns OFF.
Zero Source
1.
Press
ZERO
when the source is ON or when the output is OFF to generate a zero
level signal.
The ZERO and OUTPUT keys illuminate while a zero level signal is being generated.
Press
ZERO
again to turn the output ON causing the OUTPUT key to illuminate.
Selecting the Zero Source Impedance
1.
Press
SHIFT+ZERO (CONFIG)
to display the zero impedance menu.
2.
Press the
Zero Z
soft key to select HiZ or LoZ.
Explanation
Turning the Output ON/OFF
The output relay switches between ON and OFF.
Note
When the output relay operates, the source level is set to zero.
• When Output Is ON
The output relay turns ON with the source level set to zero. After the output relay switches,
the source level is changed to the specified source level.
• When Output Is OFF
The source level is set to zero and then the output relay is turned OFF.
Zero Source
The GS820 generates 0 V in voltage source mode and 0 A in current source mode.
Setting the Zero Source Impedance
The impedance for generating a zero level signal can be selected.
Voltage Source Mode
Current Source Mode
High impedance (HiZ)
The limiter is at the minimum
setting (10 nA).
The limiter retains the present
setting.
Low impedance (LoZ)
The limiter retains the present
setting.
The limiter is at the minimum
setting (1 mV).
