Display and Assist Keys

Assist keys In the following descriptions, Ch n indicates Ch 1 or Ch 2.

Ch n Mode Changes the assist keys to VOLTS (V) and AMPS (I) used to

select the source function.

VOLTS (V) sets the voltage source.

AMPS (I) sets the current source.

Ch n Source Changes the assist keys to the unit keys shown below.

V, mV, and V for the voltage source

pA, nA, A, mA, and A for the current source

First, enter or set the output value by using the numeric/alpha

keys, rotary knob, and arrow keys. Then press one of the unit

keys to apply the value.

Ch n Limit Changes the assist keys to the unit keys shown below.

pA, nA, A, mA, and A for the current compliance

V, mV, and V for the voltage compliance

First, enter or set the limit value by using the numeric/alpha

keys, rotary knob, and arrow keys. Then press one of the unit

keys to apply the value.

Ch n Measure Changes the assist keys to AMPS (I), VOLTS (V), OHMS (R),

and WATTS (P) used to select the measurement function.

AMPS (I) sets the current measurement.

VOLTS (V) sets the voltage measurement.

OHMS (R) sets the resistance measurement.

WATTS (P) sets the power measurement.

Resistance data is given by Resistance=Vmeas/Imeas.

Power data is given by Power=VmeasImeas.

In the above formula, Vmeas is the voltage measurement data,

and Imeas is the current measurement data.

For details on using resistance compensation, see “Resistance

Compensation” on page 6-16.

More... Changes the assist keys to Ch 1 assist keys or Ch 2 assist keys.

Ch 1 assist keys are effective for channel 1. Ch 2 assist keys are

effective for channel 2.
