Voltage Measurement
MC4 User Guide 53
Generating/Simulating
MC4 is capable to perform the following generation/simulation
Functions:
• Current generation (source or sink)
• Frequency generation
• Pulse generation
• Resistance simulation
• RTD sensor simulation
• Thermocouple simulation
• Voltage generation
To start generating/simulating a certain quantity, configure one of the
Basic State's windows (select F1/
Setup
or F2/
Setup
). Use the
Enter key to open to the list of
Functions
(uppermost field in the
configuration window) and select what you want to
generate/simulate. All other fields refine the generation/simulation
characteristics.
When presenting generations/simulations in this manual, the first
paragraph describes the measurement followed by the
Function
setting needed to start that particular generation/simulation.
Notes.
In this manual, MC4's generation/simulation Functions are presented
in alphabetic order. The order the Functions appear on your MC4
depends on which Functions have been used most recently.
A Function or a set of Functions using the same terminals can not be
selected for several windows simultaneously. MC4 limits the list of
available Functions based on Functions already in use. To free
terminals, select
No Function
for appropriate window.
