Some models have two voltage and current measurement ranges.
Refer to Chapter 1, "Model Differences" for model-specific
information. Selecting a lower measurement range provides greater
measurement accuracy, provided that the measurement does not
exceed the range. The commands that control the ranges are:
Front Panel:
Select Measure\Range.
Select the desired voltage or
current range and press Select.
When the range is set to MAX, the maximum current that can be
measured is the maximum rating of the unit. Two examples of
programming measurement ranges are:
0.1 A range To select, program values ≤ 0.1A.
3 A range To select, program values > 0.1A and ≤ 3A.
A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn on the power
system. This test assures you that the instrument is operational. If
the self-test is successful, the power system will continue to operate
normally. If the self-test fails, the Err annunciator comes on. Press
the Error key to display the list of errors on the front panel. Refer to
Appendix D for further information.
Front Panel:
Cycle power.
For Agilent N6700A mainframes, you can return the model number,
serial number, firmware revision, backup firmware, active firmware.
For Agilent N67xxA power modules, you can return the model
number, serial number, installed options, voltage rating, current
rating, and power rating.
Front Panel:
Select System\About\Frame.
