4 Divide the voltage drop (DVM reading) across the current monitoring resistor
(R
M
) by its resistance to convert to amperes and record this value (I
O
). This
value should be within the limit of 0 A ± 10 mA. Also, note that the CC, Adrs,
Limit, and Rmt annunciators are turned on.
5 Read back the output current over the remote interface by sending the
MEAS:CURR? command.
6 Record the value displayed on the controller. This value should be within the
limit of I
O
± 5 mA.
7 Program the output current to the full-scale rated value (3 A)
[1]
by sending the
following command:
