5 Readback the output current from the selected output over the remote interface by
sending the command:
MEAS:CURR? {P6V|P25V|N25V}
6 Record the value displayed on the controller. This value should be within the limits
specified below for each output tested.
7 Program the selected output current to the full scale value (see Table 3-2) by sending
the commands:
CURR 5.0 for the +6V supply or
CURR 1.0 for the ±25V supply
8 Divide the voltage drop (DVM reading) across the current monitoring resistor (R
M
)
by its resistance to convert to amps and record this value (I
O
). This value should be
within the limits specified below for each output tested.
9 Readback the output current from the selected output over the remote interface by
sending the command:
MEAS:CURR? {P6V|P25V|N25V}
10 Record the value displayed on the controller. This value should be within the limits
specified below for each output tested.
11 Repeat steps (1) through (10) for the remaining outputs.
