5. Call PS Configure Current Output with the following parameters:
• Channel = 
ps/+6V
• Current Level = 0.01 or 0.03, as listed in the first row of the Verification Point 
column of Table 22 or 23
• Voltage Limit = 6, as listed in the first row of the Voltage Limit column of 
Table 22 or 23
6. Wait for the DC power supply to settle. The VB-8012 requires at least 60 seconds of settling 
time. The VB-8034/8054 requires at least 5 seconds of settling time.
7. Measure the output voltage with the DMM and record the reading. Subtract the DMM 
reading from the verification point. Verify that the calculation falls between the limits in 
Table 22 or 23.
Note Use the values in the 1 Year Limits column. The values in the 24 Hour Limits 
column are for a post-adjustment verification only.
