Performance Verification
Models 2510 and 2510-AT
Current readback accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that Model 2510 current readback accuracy is within speci-
fied limits. The test involves setting the output current to a specific value using a 1
Ω
resistor
and a digital multimeter.
1.
With the power off, connect the digital multimeter and 1
Ω
resistor to the Model 2510
OUTPUT terminals, as shown in Figure 1-2.
2.
Turn on the Model 2510 and the DMM, and allow them to warm up for one hour.
3.
Select the multimeter DC voltage measuring function, and set the unit to the 20V range.
4.
Press CONFIG then I, choose PROTECTION, then set the current limit to 5.00A.
5.
Press the Model 2510 I key to select the current function, and make sure the source out-
put is turned on.
6.
Using the EDIT keys, adjust the Model 2510 output current to +4.5000A, as deter-
mined from the DMM voltage reading and resistor value. Compute the current as fol-
lows:
I = V/R, where V is the DMM voltage reading, and R is the characterized value of the
1
Ω
resistor.
7.
Verify that the current calculated in step 7 is within 4.474 to 4.526A limits.
8.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for an output current of -4.5000A.
