Control Graphic Description
EXIT key
Returns to the previous screen or closes a dialog box. For example,
press the EXIT key when the main menu is displayed to return to the
home screen. When you are viewing a subscreen (for example, the
Event Log screen), press the EXIT key to return to the main menu
screen.
FUNCTION key
Displays instrument functions. To select a function, touch the function
name on the screen.
TRIGGER key
Accesses trigger-related settings and operations. The action of the
TRIGGER key depends on the instrument state.
OUTPUT ON/OFF
switch
Turns the output source on or off. The switch illuminates when the
source output is on.
REMOTE LED
indicator
Illuminates when the instrument is controlled through a remote
interface.
LAN LED indicator
Illuminates when the instrument is connected to a local area network
(LAN).
1588 LED indicator
Note that 1588 functionality is not supported at this time.
INTERLOCK LED
indicator
Illuminates when the interlock is enabled.
SENSE terminals
Use the SENSE HI and SENSE LO terminal connections to measure
voltage at the device under test (DUT). When you use sense leads,
measurement of the voltage drop across the force leads is eliminated.
This produces more accurate voltage sourcing and measurement at
the DUT.
FORCE terminals
Use FORCE HI and FORCE LO terminal connections to source or
sink voltage or current to or from a device under test (DUT).
FRONT/REAR
TERMINALS switch
Activates the terminals on the front or rear panel. When the
front-panel terminals are active, a green “F” is visible to the left of the
FRONT/REAR switch. When the rear-panel terminals are active, a
yellow “R” is visible to the left of the switch.
Chassis connection
Banana jack connector that provides a chassis connection.
Turn the 2470 output on or off
You can turn the 2470 output on from the front panel or by sending remote commands.
Turning the 2470 output off does not place the instrument in a safe state (an interlock is
provided for this function).
Hazardous voltages may be present on all output and guard terminals. To prevent electrical
shock that could cause injury or death, never make or break connections to the 2470 while
the instrument is powered on. Turn off the equipment from the front panel or disconnect the
main power cord from the rear of the 2470 before handling cables. Putting the equipment into
an output-off state does not guarantee that the outputs are powered off if a hardware or
software fault occurs.
