Ensure the resistor(s) and cables used exceed the
isolation voltage of the power supply. For example:
insulation tubes with a withstand voltage higher
than the power supply can be used.
When choosing an external resistor ensure the
resistor can withstand a high degree of heat.
CV and CC Slew Rate Priority are disabled for V-I
mode (F-03) when using external resistance
control. See the normal function settings on page
102.
External resistance control of the current output is
accomplished using the MIL-26 connector on the
rear panel. A resistance of 0kΩ~10kΩ is used to
control the full scale current of the instrument.
The output current (0 to full scale) can be
controlled with the external resistance going up
(Ext-R ) 0kΩ~10kΩ(10kΩ = Vo,max) or down
(Ext-R ) 10kΩ~0kΩ(10kΩ = 0).
For 0kΩ~10kΩ: Output current = full scale current
× (external resistance/10)
For 10kΩ~0kΩ: Output current = full scale current
× ([10-external resistance]/10)
