Using Source Mode

In SOURCE mode, the calibrator generates calibrated signals for testing and calibrating process instruments, supplies voltages and resistances, and simulates the electrical output of RTD and thermocouple temperature sensors.

Sourcing Electrical Parameters

Volts or ohms are sourced and shown in the lower display.

To select an electrical sourcing function, proceed as follows:

1.Connect the test leads as shown in Figure 12, depending on the source function.

2.If necessary, press Mfor SOURCE mode.

3.Press V for dc voltage, or Ufor resistance.

4.Enter the desired output value by pressing Xand Wkeys. Press Yand Zto select a different digit to change.
