I-source operating boundaries
2601B, 2602B, and 2604B current source operating boundaries
The following figure shows the operating boundaries and output characteristics for the current source.
Only the first quadrant of operation is shown; operation in the other three quadrants is similar. As
shown, the 2601B, 2602B, and 2604B can output up to 1.01 A at 40 V, or 3.03 A at 6 V. Note that
when sourcing more than 1.01 A, voltage is limited to 6 V.
Figure 73: Current source output characteristics (2601B, 2602B, and 2604B)
The following figure shows the limit lines for the current source. The current source limit line
represents the maximum source value possible for the presently selected current source range. The
voltage compliance limit line represents the actual compliance that is in effect (see Limit principles (on
page 5-1)). These limit lines are boundaries that represent the operating limits of the instrument for
this quadrant of operation. The operating point can be anywhere inside (or on) these limit lines. The
limit line boundaries for the other quadrants are similar.
