Figure B-1. Verification & Calibration Test Setup

Performing the Verification Tests

NOTE: The verification procedure can only be performed using the SCPI language commands. Use either the front panel Address key to access the LANG command, or use the SYSTem:LANGuage command to change the programming language to SCPI.

The following procedures assume you understand how to operate the dc source from the front panel as explained in chapter 5.

When performing the verification tests from an HP-IB controller, you may have to consider the relatively slow settling times and slew rates of the dc source as compared to computer and system voltmeters. Suitable WAIT statements can be inserted into the test program to give the dc source time to respond to the test commands.

Perform the following tests for operation verification in the order indicated.
