Current Programming and Measurement Calibration

Step 1. Connect a precision shunt resistor to an output. Connect the Agilent 3458A to measure the voltage across the shunt. The shunt resistor should be suitable for measuring at least 120% of the power supply’s rated full-scale current.

Step 2. Select the full-scale current programming range. The value to program a range must be the maximum current of the range.
