Making Measurements
The Agilent N8900 series has fully integrated voltmeter and ammeter to measure the actual voltage and current that
is being supplied to the load. Whenever the instrument is on, the front panel automatically measures output voltage
and current.
Power measurements are derived from the voltage and current measurements.
