DC Current Measurement
Proceed as follows to verify the DC Current Measurement function:
1. Connect the UUT to the 5500A and the HP3458A as shown in Figure 3. Disconnect
the jumpers on the three commons (lows) of the UUT if they are present.
2. Set the UUT and the HP3458A to the DC-Current Measurement function and the
5500A to Source DC-Current.
3. Press [RANGE] on the UUT to lock on the 30 mA range.
4. Set the 5500A to the first test point in Table 5, and edit its output so that the correct
reading is displayed on the HP3458A.
5. Observe the reading on the UUT and check to see it is within the range shown under
the appropriate column.
6. Continue through the test points, being careful to lock the UUT on the specified
range.
7. When you are finished, set the 5500A to [STANDBY].
