Performance Verification
4.
Verify output current accuracy for the 10
µ
A-1A range currents listed in Table 1-5. For
each test point:
• Select the correct source range.
• Set the Model 2420 output current to the correct value.
• Verify that the multimeter reading is within the limits given in the table.
5.
Repeat the procedure for negative output currents with the same magnitudes as those
listed in Table 1-5.
6.
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.
3A range accuracy
1.
With the power off, connect the digital multimeter and the 1
Ω
resistor to the Model 2420
INPUT/OUTPUT jacks, as shown in Figure 1-3.
2.
Select the multimeter DC volts measuring function.
3.
Press the Model 2420 SOURCE I key to source current, and make sure the source output
is turned on.
4.
Verify output current accuracy for the 3A range. Be sure to:
• Select the 3A source range.
• Set the Model 2420 output current to the correct 3A output value.
• Verify that the multimeter reading is within the 3A range limits given in Table 1-5.
(Since the value of the 1
Ω
resistor value is assumed to be the same as its nominal value,
the DMM voltage reading is the same as the sourced current.)
5.
Repeat the procedure for a negative 3A current output value.
6.
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.
