5 - Front Panel Operation

As previously mentioned, the HP 66332A dc source has the capability of measuring output waveform parameters such as peak, minimum, high level, and low level as illustrated in the following figure.

V or A MAX

46.8 microsecond sampling rate

V or A HIGH

NOTE:

V or A LOW

V or A MIN

100 millisecond acquisition time

Measurement samples may not

coincide with the actual maximum

or minimum point of the waveform.

Use the Meter menu for making front panel measurements:

 

Action

Display

1.

For current measurements, press Shift, Input. Then press ä until you

CURR:RANG AUTO

 

obtain the CURR:RANG AUTO command. Press Enter to activate

 

 

autoranging. Two other selections are also available. Select the High

 

 

range when measuring currents above 20 mA. Select the Low range for

 

 

improved resolution when measuring currents below 20 mA.

 

2.

For output waveform measurements, press Shift, Input. Then press q

CURR:DET ACDC

 

until you obtain the CURR:DET command. Check to make sure that the

 

 

ACDC current detector is selected. This provides the best accuracy for

 

 

waveform measurements. Only select the DC current detector if you are

 

 

making dc current measurements and you require a dc measurement

 

 

offset better than 1mA on the High current measurement range.

 

Note: In the Low current measurement range, the current detector is fixed at DC. With the current detector in dc, accurate current measurements cannot be made on waveforms with frequency contents over a few kHz.
