7. Select the DMM DC volts function.
8. Press the SRC key to source current, and make sure the source output is turned on.
9. Verify output current accuracy for the 3 A range 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 in the following table.

(1 year, 18 °C to 28 °C)
10. Repeat the procedure for negative output currents with the same magnitudes as those listed.
11. Calculate the current from the DMM voltage reading and the characterized 0.5 Ω resistance value:
I=V/R.
