Basic operation
Operation overview
Quick Tip
Before you begin any of the following front panel procedures, make sure that you exit out of the menu
structure. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key as needed to back out of a menu.
Source-measure capabilities
From the front panel, the instrument can be configured to perform the following source-measure
operations:
• Source voltage: Measure and display current, voltage, resistance, or power
• Source current: Measure and display voltage, current, resistance, or power
• Measure resistance: Display resistance calculated from voltage and current components of
measurement (can optionally specify source voltage or source current value)
• Measure power: Display power calculated from voltage and current components of
measurement (can optionally specify source voltage or source current value)
• Measure only (V or I): Display voltage or current measurement
Voltage and current
The following table lists the source and measure limits for the voltage and current functions. The full
range of operation is explained in Operating boundaries
(on page 4-5) in the Theory of Operations.
