Introduction
Power Source
Measurement Parameters
B2961A/B2962A supports the following measurement parameters.
• Current
• Voltage
• Resistance
•Power
• Percent-to-Limit (= measured value / Limit value 100 %)
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 using the resistance compensation, see “Resistance Compensation” on page
6-18.
NOTE Measurement Range
Voltage source uses the present output range to measure voltage and/or the
minimum range which covers the Limit value to measure current.
Current source uses the present output range to measure current and/or the minimum
range which covers the Limit value to measure voltage.
Limit
B2961A/B2962A has a compliance feature that limits the output voltage or current
to prevent damage to the device under test. When the channel applies voltage, you
can specify the current limit. When the channel applies current, you can specify the
voltage limit. For details, see “Limit/Compliance” on page 6-3.
