DC Voltage Programming and Measurement Accuracy

CAUTION: Disconnect the ratio transformer for this test.

This test verifies the dc voltage programming, GPIB readback, and front panel meter functions. Values read back over the GPIB should be the same as those displayed on the front panel. Connect the negative terminal of the DVM to the COM output terminal to determine the ± dc offset voltages.

Action

Normal Result

1.Make sure the ac source is turned off. Connect the DVM directly to the sense terminals.

2.Turn on the ac source with no load. In the Output menu, execute the *RST command to reset the unit. Enable the output by pressing Output On/Off. Program the output voltage as follows:

VOLT 0, OUTP:COUP DC, OFFSET 425

3.Record DC voltage readings at the DVM and on the front panel display.

4.Program OFFSET 425

5.Record DC voltage readings at the DVM and on the front panel display.

Output voltage at +425 Vdc

Output current near 0.

Readings within specified dc voltage programming and readback limits.

Output voltage at 425 Vdc

Readings within specified dc voltage programming and readback limits.

RMS Current Accuracy Test

This test verifies the accuracy of the current measurement in rms detection mode.

Action

1.Turn off the ac source and connect the DVM, the 20 ohm load resistor and current shunt as shown in Figure B-1 with S1 closed. Connect the DVM across the current shunt.

2.Turn on the ac source. In the Output menu, execute the *RST command to reset the unit. Enable the output by pressing Output On/Off. Program the output as follows:

For Agilent 6811B:

VOLT 50, CURR:RANGE LOW, CURR:LEV 3.00

For all other models:

VOLT 50, CURR:RANGE LOW, CURR:LEV 5.00

3.Record the DVM voltage reading and calculate the rms current.

4.Program CURR:RANGE HIGH

5.Record the DVM voltage reading and calculate the rms current.

Normal Result

CCannunciator on Output current at 3.0 (Agilent

6811B)

or 5.0 A (all other models).

Readings within specified limits.

CCannunciator on Output current at 3.0 (Agilent

6811B)

or 5.0 A (all other models).

Readings within specified limits.
