5 - Front Panel Operation

As previously mentioned, the HP 66332A dc source has the capability of measuring output waveform parameters such as peak, minimum, high level, and low level as illustrated in the following figure.

V or A MAX

46.8 microsecond sampling rate

V or A HIGH

NOTE:

V or A LOW

V or A MIN

100 millisecond acquisition time

Measurement samples may not

coincide with the actual maximum

or minimum point of the waveform.

Figure 5-5. Front Panel Pulse Measurement Parameters (HP 66332A only)Use the Meter menu for making front panel measurements:

	Action	Display
1.	For current measurements, press Shift, Input. Then press ä until you	CURR:RANG AUTO
	obtain the CURR:RANG AUTO command. Press Enter to activate
	autoranging. Two other selections are also available. Select the High
	range when measuring currents above 20 mA. Select the Low range for
	improved resolution when measuring currents below 20 mA.
2.	For output waveform measurements, press Shift, Input. Then press q	CURR:DET ACDC
	until you obtain the CURR:DET command. Check to make sure that the
	ACDC current detector is selected. This provides the best accuracy for
	waveform measurements. Only select the DC current detector if you are
	making dc current measurements and you require a dc measurement
	offset better than 1mA on the High current measurement range.

Note: In the Low current measurement range, the current detector is fixed at DC. With the current detector in dc, accurate current measurements cannot be made on waveforms with frequency contents over a few kHz.
