4 Turn on the instrument. Press Current to select the constant current
mode. Ensure that the S2 (8 V/3 A) range is selected (the S2
annunciator is illuminated). Press Shift > Range again if it is not.
5 Set the output current to the full rated value (3 A for S2 range) and
voltage to full scale. Enable the output.
6 Configure the differential amplifier as follows:
i Set to the AC mode (positive and negative) to remove the DC
component.
ii Set to the differential mode.
iii Set the gain to ×10.
iv Set the attenuation to 1.
v Set the low pass filter to 1 MHz bandwidth limit to filter out input
signals containing higher frequencies.
vi Set to the zero precision current generator.
vii Set the input impedance to 1 MΩ .
7 Configure the RMS voltmeter as follows:
i Set the high pass filter to 10 Hz.
ii Enable AC coupling.
8 Obtain the maximum rms current measurement as indicated in the RMS
voltmeter. Divide the value by 10 and then multiply by 5 to get the
constant current rms noise measurement. The result should not exceed
0.001 A
rms
