Section 4: Using the Model 9100: DC Voltage Function 4.3-13
Final Width = 215mm
4.3.6.3 Using the 9100 as an Adjustable Source
The following procedure assumes that the instrument is in Manual Mode. In the case of
difficulty, re-read sub-section 3.3.1. Familiarity with the methods of editing screen
values is also assumed (Section 3).
Calibration Setup
1. Connections Connect the 9100 to the UUT as shown in Fig. 4.3.2, and ensure that
both instruments are powered ON and warmed up.
2. UUT Select DC Voltage function.
3. 9100 Ensure that the 9100 is in DC Voltage Function with Output OFF.
If in any other function, press the '
V' key on the right of the front
panel.
Sequence of Operations
Refer to the table of UUT calibration points in the UUT Manufacturer's Calibration
Guide. Follow the correct sequence of calibration stages as directed by the guide, and
carry out the following operations (1) to (5) at each stage.
1. 9100 Use the front panel controls to set the 9100 Output voltage to the
UUT cal point value, entering High Voltage State if the cal point
has been assigned to that state. The default High Voltage State
boundaries are shown in Fig. 4.3.1.
2. UUT Select the correct range for the cal point.
3. 9100 a. Set Output ON.
b. Slew the DC Voltage Output reading until the UUT reading is
equal to the calibration point value.
4. UUT Record the 9100 screen output value as detailed in the UUT
Manufacturer's Calibration Guide.
5. 9100 Set Output OFF.
