2 - Verification and Performance Tests

Current-Monitoring Resistor

To eliminate output-current measurement error caused by voltage drops in the leads and connections, connect the current monitoring resistor between the -OUT and the load as a four-terminal device. Connect the current-monitoring leads inside the load-lead connections directly at the monitoring points on the resistor element.

Operation Verification Tests

To assure that the supply is operating properly, without testing all specified parameters, perform the turn-on and checkout procedures given in the User’s Guide.

Performance Tests

NOTE: A full Performance Test consists of only those items listed as “Specifications” in Table A-1 of the User’s Guide, and that have a procedure in this document.

The following paragraphs provide test procedures for verifying the supply's compliance with the specifications listed in Table A-1 of the User’s Guide. All of the performance test specifications and calculated measurement uncertainties are entered in the appropriate Performance Test Record Card for your specific model. You can record the actual measured values in the column provided in this card.

If you use equipment other than that recommended in Table 2-1, you must recalculate the measurement uncertainties for the actual equipment used.

Programming

You can program the supply from the front panel keyboard or from a GPIB controller when performing the tests. The test procedures are written assuming that you know how to program the supply either; remotely from a GPIB controller or locally using the control keys and indicators on the supply's front panel. Complete instructions on remote and local programming are given in the User’s Guide and in the Programming Guide.
