Number Name Function
INPUT Terminals
A, HI, and LO
A pair of five-way binding posts for current measurements. Signals
up to 30 A rms can be applied to these terminals on the 8588A and
up to 2 A on the 8558A.These terminals illuminate to show
connections.
INPUT Terminals
VΩ, HI, and LO
A pair of five-way binding posts for voltage, ohms, capacitance, 2-
wire PRT, and thermocouple measurements. On the 8588A, these
binding posts also connect to the output of external current shunts.
Frequency can be measured via these terminals. Signals up to
1050 V rms can be applied to these terminals. These terminals
illuminate to show connections.
SENSE Terminals
V, HI, and LO
A pair of five-way binding posts for 4-wire resistance measurements.
They are the sense terminals in 4-W Ω and 3- and 4-wire PRT.
These terminals illuminate to show connections.
D EXT PORT
A connector to use the Rodhe & Schwarz (R&S) NRP RF power
sensors. Note this terminal illuminates to show connections.
E Color Display
Color display shows the output and active conditions and messages.
The display provides controls not available with the keys alone by
use of softkeys F1 to F5. The localized Product interface is made up
of multiple menus, described throughout the manual. The display
outputs in numerical or graphing format.
F
(Navigation Keys)
Four-way navigation keys used to move from various menu choices
on the display when available. The active menu choice is highlighted.
