3-24 Negative Constant Current (- CC) Operation. This test
verifies the readback and display accuracies when the
output is in negative current limit operation. It also checks
that the negative current limit has two different values
depending upon the output voltage.
a. Turn off the supply and connect the output to be tested
as shown in Figure 3-12.
b. Set the external power supply to 5V and its current
limit to 1.5 times (approximately) the Low Range Full
Scale current value (see Table 3-2) of the output under
test. For example, if the Low Range Full Scale current
value is 2 A, set the external supply's current limit to
about 3 A.
c. Turn on the supply and select the output to be tested
(OUTPUT SELECT key on the front panel).
d. Program the selected output channel to 0V by sending
the string:
VSET < ch >, 0
e. Multiply the voltage drop across the current monitoring
resistor by 10 to obtain the current sink value (Is) in
amps and record the value. Record also the current
reading on the display. The readings should be within
the limits specified below for the particular output type
being tested. Note that the CC annunciator must be on.

80WHV 4.3 to 4.7 A Is ± 30 mA
f. Read back the sink current from the selected channel
listed in step e of paragraph 3-23.
g. Record the value displayed on the controller. This value
should be within the reading (Is) noted in step e and the
limits specified below.

h. Raise the voltage of the external supply up to
26 V (40WHV or 80WHV outputs) as indicated on your
supply's front panel and note that the sink current (Is)
changes from the previous value to a value within the
range indicated below.
