6.2 Differences Between the TR6143 Mode and the Original Mode
Some functions are different between the TR6143 Mode and the Original Mode (normal mode). Table 6-1
shows these differences.
Table 6-1 Differences Between the TR6143 Mode and the Original Mode (1 of 2)
Function Original mode TR6143 mode
Changing the source function
(GPIB)
VS/IS
The measurement function does not
change.
VSIM/ISVM
The measurement function changes.
Voltage limiter The bipolar limiter operates. TR6143 mode 1:
Only the limiter for a single polarity
operates.
TR6143 mode 2:
The bipolar limitter operates.
Auto, Plus, or Minus can be selected in
the Limiter Polarity mode.
The voltage limiter has the same polar-
ity as the current source
Limiter polarity mode Auto, Plus, or Minus can be selected None
Changing the source, limiter,
and range
A constant value can be set before or
after the range is changed.
(Example) Increasing the measured
range scale
10.000 V 010.00 V
(Example) Decreasing the measured
range scale
10.000 V DOWN 10.000 V
A constant count value can be set.
(Example) Increasing the measured
range scale
10.000 V UP 100.00 V
(Example) Decreasing the measured
range scale
01.000 V DOWN 0.1000 V
If a changed value is not within the
allowable range, the range is not
changed.
(Example) The range scale is not
decreased.
10.000 V DOWN 10.000 V
If a changed value exceeds the allow-
able display value, an acceptable source
value can be set.
(Example) Increasing the measured
range scale
30.000 V UP 030.00 V

6244: 0.00 mV to 20.000 V
0.00 A to 10.000 A
