Performing Spot Measurement
B2961A/B2962A can be used as a DC current and voltage meter. The following
procedure measures current and voltage.
If you want to apply DC output before starting measurement, set the DC source.
Setup example is described in “Applying DC Output” on page 1-3.
Step 1. Setting the Measure parameter (current and voltage measurement)
1. Press
Measure on a 1-ch model or Ch1 Measure on a 2-ch model.
2. Press
AMPS (I).
3. Press the key once, and press the rotary knob once.
4. Press
VOLTS (V).
Step 2. Enabling the channel
Press the Ch 1 switch to enable channel 1. This turns the switch green. The
channel 1 changes status to CV (Constant Voltage) or CC (Constant Current) and
starts DC output.
Step 3. Starting measurement
• Press the key to start a single (one shot) measurement. Spot
measurement is performed once.
• Press the key to start a repeat (continuous) measurement. Spot
measurement is performed repeatedly.
The following example shows the measurement results for a 10 M resistor
connected between the High Force and Low Force terminals of channel 1.
Step 4. Disabling the channel
Press the Ch 1 switch to disable channel 1. This turns off the switch light.
