6-12 Keysight B2961A/B2962A User’s Guide, Edition 3
Function Details
Output Filter and External Filter
Output Filter and External Filter
The channel has a built-in output filter to obtain clean source output without spikes,
noise, and overshooting. To set the filter, see “Output Filter dialog box” on page
4-29. Note, however, that using a filter may increase the channel settling time.
Also the channel can be equipped with an external filter (N1294A-020/021/022 low
noise filter, LNF). By attaching the filter to the output terminal, the B2961A/
B2962A can be used as a high resolution and high speed DC power supply or a DC
bias source for high frequency measurement instrument.
For using the external filter, see “Using the Low Noise Filter” on page 3-19 and
“External Filter dialog box” on page 4-29. And set the dialog box properly.
Conditions for using the external filter is shown below.

In the voltage source mode, high capacitance mode ON: 10 A to 3 A ranges
In the voltage source mode, high capacitance mode OFF: 100 mA to 3 A ranges
