Basic operation

Basic operation simply consists of setting the V-Source level, and placing the V-Source in

operate to output the voltage. Other V-Source operations are performed from the

CONFIGURE V-SOURCE menu. See “Conﬁguring V-Source” to select range (100V or

1000V), set voltage limit, select resistance current limit and control the LO-to-LO

connection between the V-Source and the ammeter.

Setting V-Source level — The V-Source level is set with the instrument in the normal

measurement mode. The VOLTAGE SOURCE  and  keys, and the cursor keys ( and

) are used to adjust the voltage level. Pressing any one of these four keys will enable the

V-Source edit mode. The ﬂashing digit on the V-Source display indicates the cursor posi-

tion. Use the cursor keys to place the cursor on the desired digit, and use the VOLTAGE

SOURCE  and  keys to adjust the level. Polarity can be changed by placing the cursor

on the polarity sign, and pressing VOLTAGE SOURCE  and .

Sourcing voltage — The displayed voltage level is applied to the output terminals when

the instrument is placed in operate by pressing the OPER key. In operate, the VOLTAGE

SOURCE OPERATE indicator is on. Pressing OPER a second time places the V-Source in

standby.
