2. Select the multimeter DC current measuring function.
3. Press the SRC key to source current, and make sure the source output is turned on.
4. Verify output current accuracy for each of the currents for the 100 nA to 1 A ranges using the
values in the following table. For each test point:
â–ª Select the correct source range.
â–ª Set the 2601B-PULSE output current to the correct value.
â–ª Verify that the multimeter reading is within the limits given in the following table.
