6240B DC Voltage Current Source/Monitor Operation Manual
5.2.9 Source and Measurement Timing
5-50
2. Voltage source
The settling time (Ts) of the 6240B is defined by the voltage source value (Vs), the current limit value
DIL (digits), and the settling time setting (Fast/Slow), as shown below.
Set the measurement delay (Td) to Ts or over.
• Fast mode
Current limiter range is 300 A to 4 A:
Ts=70+(Vs 30000/DIL) [s]
Current limiter range is 30 A:
Ts=(70+(Vs 30000/DIL)) 3 [s]
•Slow mode
Current limiter range is 300 A to 4 A:
Ts=200+(Vs 100000/DIL) [s]
Current limiter range is 30 A:
Ts=(200+(Vs 100000/DIL)) 2 [s]
(Example) Ts values when current limiter range is 300 A to 4 A Unit [s]
