Before performing calibration | Agilent Technologies E3631A guide

1Meter and adjust selection keys Select the output voltage and current of any one supply (+6V, +25V, or -25V output) to be monitored on the display and allow knob adjustment of that supply.

2Tracking enable / disable key Enables / disables the track mode of ±25V supplies.

3Display limit key Shows the voltage and current limit values on the display and allows knob adjustment for setting limit values.

4Recall operating state key Recalls a previously stored operating state from location "1", "2", or "3".

5	Store operating state / Local key1 Stores an operating state in location "1", "2", or
	"3" / or returns the power supply to local mode from remote interface mode.
6	Error / Calibrate key2 Displays error codes generated during operations, self-test
	and calibration / or enables calibration mode (the power supply must be unsecured
	before performing calibration).

7I/O Configuration / Secure key3 Configures the power supply for remote interfaces / or secure and unsecure the power supply for calibration.

8Output On/Off key Enables or disables all three power supply outputs. This key toggles between two states.

9Control knob Increases or decreases the value of the blinking digit by turning clockwise or counter clockwise.

10Resolution selection keys Move the flashing digit to the right or left.

11Voltage/current adjust selection key Selects the knob function to voltage control or current control.

1The key can be used as the "Local" key when the power supply is in the remote interface mode.

2You can enable the "calibration mode" by holding down this key when you turn on the power supply.

3You can use it as the "Secure" or "Unsecure" key when the power supply is in the calibration mode.
