DC Current
This section describes how to configure DC current measurements from the front panel.
Step 1: Configure the test leads as shown.
On the 34461A, you can also configure the measurement using the 10 A terminal, which is recommended when
measuring current above 1 A:
Step 2: Press [DCI] on the front panel.
Step 3 (34461A only): Toggle the first softkey to indicate which terminals are in use. For most measurements, you
can leave this at 3 A, and if you change this to 10 A, the measurement range automatically becomes 10 A.
Step 4: Press Range and choose the range for the measurement. You can also use the [+], [-], and [Range] keys
on the front panel to select the range.The autorange feature (Auto) automatically selects the range for the
measurement based on the input. Autoranging is convenient, but it results in slower measurements than using a
manual range. Autoranging goes up a range at 120% of the current range, and down a range below 10% of the
current range. Press More to switch between the two pages of settings.
