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
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.
