Current Readback Ranges:
• Models 2303 and 2303B – Two ranges for current readback: 5A and 5mA. On the 5A
range, display resolution is 100µA, and on the 5mA range, resolution is 0.1µA.
• Model 2303-PJ – Two ranges for current readback: 5A and 500mA. On the 5A range,
display resolution is 100µA, and on the 500mA range, resolution is 0.01mA (10µA).
The power supply also has a digital voltmeter (DVM) that is independent of the power supply
circuit. The DVM can measure up to +20V (1mV resolution).
When used with a pulsed load, the power supply can read back peak current, idle current, and
average current. See Section 3 for details. A long integration (up to 60 seconds) function is pro-
vided to measure average current of a low frequency pulse (long period) or a series of pulses.
See Section 4 for details.
