Using the Current Output Functions
The meter provides steady, stepped, and ramped current output for testing
current into a passive circuit such as a current loop with no loop supply. Source mode depletes the battery faster than simulate mode, so use simulate mode whenever possible.
The display looks the same in source and simulate modes. The way to tell which mode is in use is to see which pair of output jacks is in use.
Source Mode
Source mode is selected automatically by inserting the test leads into the SOURCE + and − jacks as shown in Figure 7. Use source mode whenever you need to supply
