Annunciators light to indicate operating modes and status conditions: φ1, φ2, φ3 Phase 1, 2, or 3 is being controlled or metered.
CV The ac source output is in
CCThe ac source output is in
Dis The ac source output is disabled (off).
Tran The ac source output is initialized to output a transient. OCP The overcurrent protection state is enabled.
Prot One of the ac source’s output protection features is activated. Cal The ac source is in calibration mode.
Shift The Shift key is pressed to access an alternate key function. Rmt The selected interface (GPIB or
Err There is a message in the SCPI error queue.
SRQ The interface is requesting service from the controller.
Meter Front panel measurement functions are: ac only, dc only, or ac+dc
AC+DC
Output The ac source output coupling is: ac only, or ac+dc
AC+DC
The rotary pulse generators let you set the output voltage and frequency when the ac source is in local mode. Their response is rate sensitive.
Turning a control rapidly provides coarse control of the value. Turning a control slowly provides fine control of the value.
This turns the ac source on or off.
The system keys let you:
Return to Local mode (front panel control) Set the ac source GPIB address
Set the
Save and recall up to 4 instrument operating configurations Function access command menus that let you:
Program output voltage, current limit, frequency, and output waveforms Turn the output on and off
Select metering functions
Send immediate triggers from the front panel Program transient output functions
Set and clear protection functions Select output phases
Select the coupling for output and meter functions Monitor instrument status
Entry keys let you:
Enter programming values
Increment or decrement programming values
Calibrate the ac source
