Ammeter
On/Off
Enables or disables Ammeter Input. In the On status, the Ammeter triaxial
connector’s center conductor is connected to the ammeter and the switch light
turns green. In the Off status, it is connected to the circuit common and the switch
light turns off. Pressing the On (green) switch turns it to the Off status even if the
instrument is in the remote control state.
Turn this switch on to perform the current measurement (and the charge and
resistance measurements on the B2985B/B2987B).
The B2985B/B2987B can perform the voltage measurement regardless of this
switch setting.
Voltage Source
On/Off
(B2985B/
B2987B)
Enables or disables Voltage Source Output. In the On status, the Voltage Source
High terminal is connected to the voltage source and the switch light turns green.
In the Off status, it is opened and the switch light turns off. Pressing the On (green)
switch turns it to the Off status even if the instrument is in the remote control
state.
The switch turns red if the voltage source is in the high voltage state (over 21V).
Rotary knob If the field pointer is in the MOVE (blue) status, turning the knob moves the
pointer. Pressing the knob fixes the pointer position and changes the pointer
status to EDIT (green).
If the field pointer is in the EDIT (green) status, turning the knob changes the value
of the setup parameter specified by the pointer. Pressing the knob fixes the value
and changes the pointer status to MOVE (blue).
