• WAVE MENUS (Waveform Menus) Opens submenus for selecting the type of
harmonic, waveform, front panel LO terminal condition, and phase.
• HARMONIC MENUS (Harmonic Frequency Menus) Opens submenus for
selecting harmonic outputs. See “Setting Harmonics” later in this chapter for
more information.
• WAVE (Normal Waveform) Selects the waveform for the voltage at the
front panel NORMAL terminals. See “Waveform Types” later in this
chapter for more information.
• AUX WAVE (Auxiliary Waveform) Selects the waveform for the voltage
at the front panel AUX terminals. See “Waveform Types” later in this
chapter for more information.
• “LO”s (Low Potential Output Terminals) The front panel NORMAL LO
and AUX LO terminals must be tied together either at the UUT or at the
5500A. When the front panel NORMAL LO and AUX LO terminals are tied
at the UUT, select “open” with the “LO”s softkey. If the NORMAL LO and
AUX LO terminals are not tied at the UUT, select “tied” with the “LO”s
softkey. The default is tied.
• PHASE (Phase Difference) Selects the phase difference between the
NORMAL and AUX outputs. See “Adjusting the Phase” later in this chapter
for more information.
4-29. Setting Resistance Output
Complete the following procedure to set a synthesized resistance output at the 5500A
front panel NORMAL terminals. If you make an entry error, press G to clear the
display, then reenter the value.
1. Press R to clear any output from the 5500A.
2. Connect the UUT as described earlier in this chapter under “Connecting the
Calibrator to a UUT.”
Note
Since this is a synthesized output, be sure the terminal connections from
the 5500A to the UUT are LO to LO and HI to HI.
3. Set the UUT to measure resistance on the desired range.
4. Press the numeric keys and decimal point key to enter the desired resistance output
(maximum six numeric keys). For example, 12.3456.
5. Press a multiplier key, if necessary. For example, press K.
6. Press Q.
7. The Control Display now shows the amplitude of your resistance entry. For example,
12.3456 kΩ (below).
12.3456 k&
