You have completed verifying the DC current of the NI4070/4072. Select

one of the following options:

• If you want to continue verifying other modes, go to the Verifying AC

Current section.

• If you do not want to verify other modes and you are performing a

post-adjustment verification, go to the Completing the Adjustment

Procedures section.

• If you do not want to verify any additional modes and you are

performing a pre-adjustment verification, call niDMM_close to close

the session.
