The Current Output item selects one of three locations for non-boosted (current sourced
by the Calibrator, for example) current output:
•
OUTPUT binding post (NORMAL, which is the OUTPUT HI binding post, also the
default setting)
•
AUX, which is the AUX CURRENT OUTPUT binding post
•
Boost which is the 5725A Amplifier binding posts. (The 5725A must be turned on,
but not necessarily activated.)
Non-boosted current from the Calibrator is not available at the 52120A amplifier binding
posts.
Resistance Output
In the resistance function, the Calibrator supplies a choice of 18 standard resistance
values or a short at the output terminals. The values available are:
0 Ω
1.0 Ω
1.9 Ω
10 Ω
19 Ω
100 Ω
To select a resistance output:
1. Make sure the Calibrator is in standby (STANDBY annunciator lit). Push S if
necessary.
2. If the UUT is not connected, connect it now as described previously in this chapter
under "Connect the Calibrator to a UUT."
3. Set the UUT to read resistance on the appropriate range.
4. Push the numeric keys of the nominal resistance, or touch "Ω Value Table" to show a
list of the selectable resistance values as shown below.
