1. Modify current limits if necessary. See Source limits calculations (on page B-3).
2. Verification of a pulsed output (levels greater than 20 A on the 50 A range) is accomplished during
current measurement verification test procedure. See Current measurement accuracy
(on page B-8).
5. Repeat the procedure for negative output currents with the same magnitudes as those listed.
6. Turn the output off, and change connections as shown in Connections for current verification (1 A
range and above) (on page B-8) (use the 0.1 Ω resistor as shown).
7. Select the DMM DC volts function.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the 1 A through 20 A ranges, and the 20.0000 A (DC level) output
setting for the 50 A (pulse) range. Calculate the current from the DMM voltage reading and the
characterized 0.1 Ω resistance value: I=V/R
