3. Select the digitizing function on the multimeter.
4. Reconnect power to the 2601B-PULSE and turn on the instrument.
5. Create a pulse using the code provided below (following the tables).
6. Verify the output pulse current, voltage measurement, and current measurement accuracy for
each of the currents and voltages for the 1 A to 10 A ranges using the values in the following
tables. 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 for the source given in the
following tables.
â–ª Verify that the 2601B-PULSE readings are within the measure limits.
7. Repeat the procedure for negative output currents with the same magnitudes as those listed.
8. Calculate the current from the DMM voltage reading and the characterized 1 Ω resistance value:
I=V/R.
