Performance Verification 1-9
Output voltage accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that Model 2420 output voltage accuracy is within specified
limits. This test involves setting the output voltage to each full-range value and measuring the
voltages with a precision digital multimeter.
1.
With the power off, connect the digital multimeter to the Model 2420 INPUT/OUTPUT
jacks, as shown in Figure 1-1.
2.
Select the multimeter DC volts measuring function.
3.
Set the voltage source protection to NONE. To do so, press CONFIG then SOURCE V
to access the CONFIGURE V-SOURCE menu. Select PROTECTION, and set the volt-
age source protection limit to NONE.
4.
Press the Model 2420 SOURCE V key to source voltage, and make sure the source out-
put is turned on.
5.
Verify output voltage accuracy for each of the voltages listed in Table 1-3. For each test
point:
• Select the correct source range.
• Set the Model 2420 output voltage to the indicated value.
• Verify that the multimeter reading is within the limits given in the table.
6.
Repeat the procedure for negative output voltages with the same magnitudes as those
listed in Table 1-3.
7.
Repeat the entire procedure using the rear panel INPUT/OUTPUT jacks. Be sure to
select the rear panel jacks with the front panel TERMINALS key.
