Documenting Process Calibrator

Using Source Mode

NOTE

If a measurement falls outside a random noise window, a new average is started. If damping is turned off, or until measurements are fully damped, the gsymbol is displayed.

Using Source Mode

The operating mode (i.e., MEASURE, SOURCE) is shown in a reverse-video bar on the display. If the calibrator is not in SOURCE mode, press Muntil SOURCE is shown. You must be in SOURCE mode to change any of the SOURCE parameters.

Sourcing Electrical Parameters

To select an electrical sourcing function, proceed as follows:

1.Connect the test leads as shown in Figure 14, depending on the source function.

2.Press Mfor current, vfor dc voltage, h for frequency, or qfor resistance.

3.Enter the desired output value, then press e. For example, to source 5.0V dc, press v5 . 0 e.

4.To change the output value enter a new value and press e.

NOTE

If you are sourcing current, wait for the g symbol to go out before you use the output.

5.To set the output value to 0 in the present source function, press c.

6.To turn off sourcing completely, press ctwice.

NOTE

Use the source current function to drive a current loop. This is different than the loop power function in which the calibrator is powering a process instrument. To source loop power, use the Loop Power function accessible from smode.
