To configure the sources manually, select User defined in the Pre-set
Configurations pick list. Then select the number of convertible sources
and the number of current sources in the two pick lists at the top of the
display. These lists correspond to the two types of sources available.
N
OTE
If the F6150 Instrument does not have the F6810 convertible source
option installed, then the sources on the left side of the Configuration
display can output voltages only.
Convertible V/I Sources
If Option 6810 is installed, the sources on the left
side of the display can be used as voltage sources
or as low range current sources. The number of
convertible sources available in the F6000
Configuration display depends on the number
selected in the Convertible V/I Sources pick list.
Refer to Figure 3.5 on page 3-8.
Current Sources The sources in the right half of the display are
configurable only as current sources. The number
of current sources available depends on the
number selected in the Current Sources pick list.
The F6000 Configuration dialog box has a graphic display which
represents the voltage and current source output terminals on the F6150
front panel. When a preset configuration is selected, the source names
and layout are displayed in this graphic. For user defined configurations,
the required number of convertible V/I sources and current sources can
be selected. Moreover, the source names can be chosen from the
available options for each source shown in the graphic.
Once the number of convertible and current sources is specified, assign a
name to each one. Name the sources by choosing from active pick lists
in the middle of the display.
• Voltage sources are typically designated VA, VB, and VC.
• Current sources are typically designated I1, I2, and I3.
• VN is a general label for a fourth voltage source.
• IN is a general label for a fourth current source.
