Models 2510 and 2510-AT
Performance Verification
1-10
Current limit accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that Model 2510 current limit accuracy is within specified
limits. The test involves setting the current limit to a specific value and making sure the current
is limited to the required value.
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 the Model 2510 V key to select the voltage function.
5.
Press CONFIG then I, select PROTECTION, then set the current limit to 4.50A.
6.
Make sure the source output is turned on.
7.
Using the EDIT keys, adjust the Model 2510 output voltage to +10.000V.
8.
Verify that the “ILIM” message is displayed, then measure the output current, as
determined from the DMM voltage reading and resistor value. Compute the current as
follows: I = V/R, where V is the DMM voltage reading, and R is the characterized
value of the 1
Ω
resistor.
9.
Verify that the current calculated in step 9 is within 4.275 to 4.725A limits.
10.
Turn off the output when the test is completed.
AC resistance accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that Model 2510 AC resistance accuracy is within specified
limits. The test involves connecting a 100
Ω
resistor to the OUTPUT terminals and verifying
that the Model 2510 AC resistance reading is within limits.
1.
With the power off, connect the 100
Ω
resistor to the Model 2510 OUTPUT terminals,
as shown in Figure 1-3.
2.
Connect the Model 2510 to the serial port or IEEE-488 interface of the computer.
3.
Turn on the Model 2510, and allow it to warm up for one hour before testing.
4.
Press CONFIG then R.
5.
Select AC-OHMS, then press ENTER.
6.
Note the reading, and verify that the resistance measurement is within required limits.
(Recalculate limits using the characterized resistance value and Model 2510 AC resis-
tance specifications.) For a 100
Ω
resistance, the limits are: 99.88 to 100.12
Ω
