SPECIFICATIONS
TRANSIENT RESPONSE TIME: 30µs minimum for the
output to recover to its spec. following a step change in load
.
COMMAND PROCESSING TIME: Maximum time
required for the output to begin to change following the
receipt of :SOURce:VOLTage|CURRent <nrf> command.
Autorange On: 10ms. Autorange Off: 7ms.
OUTPUT SETTLING TIME: Time required to reach 0.1%
of final value after command is processed. 100µs typical.
Resistive load. 10µA to 100mA range.
OUTPUT SLEW RATE (±30%):
0.14V/µs, 60V range, 100mA compliance.
0.08V/µs, 20V range, 100mA compliance.
DC FLOATING VOLTAGE: Output can be floated up to
±250VDC from chassis ground.
REMOTE SENSE: Up to 1V drop per load lead.
COMPLIANCE ACCURACY: Add 0.3% of range and
±0.02% of reading to base specification.
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION: Internally
sensed temperature overload puts unit in standby mode.
RANGE CHANGE OVERSHOOT: Overshoot into a fully
resistive 100kΩ load, 10Hz to 1MHz BW, adjacent range
changes between 200mV, 2V, and 20V ranges, 100mV
typical.
MINIMUM COMPLIANCE VALUE: 0.1% of range.
1. Full power source operation regardless of load to 30°C ambient.
Above 30°C and/or power sink operation, refer to the Power
Equations section of the User’s Manual.
2. For sink mode, 10µA to 100mA range, accuracy is:
±(0.5% + offset*3)
For 1A and 3A range, accuracy is:
±(1.5% + offset*3)
