Toggling the source and measure display fields

Normally, the measured reading value will appear in the upper, main display line, while the
source and compliance values will appear in the left and right fields, respectively of the
lower display line. You can toggle the source and measure display fields by pressing the
DISPLAY TOGGLE key to place the source and measure values in the desired display
fields.

Basic connections

WARNING
Press the DISPLAY EDIT key to place the blinking cursor in either the source or com-
pliance display field to be edited.
If desired, use the RANGE  and  keys to select the desired source or compliance
range.
To increment or decrement the display value, use the EDIT  and  keys to place the
blinking cursor on the digit to be changed, then increment or decrement the value with
the SOURCE  and  keys. Note that the source or compliance value will be updated
immediately; you need not press ENTER to complete the process.
To enter the source or compliance value directly, key in the desired value with the
numeric keys while the cursor is blinking. Again, the source or compliance value will
be updated immediately.
To prevent electric shock, test connections must be configured such that the
user cannot come in contact with conductors or any DUT that is in contact with
the conductors. Safe installation requires proper shields, barriers, and ground-
ing to prevent contact with conductors. Operator protection and safety are the
responsibility of the person installing the product.
During power-up, voltage spikes may appear on the terminals of the SourceM-
eter. These voltage spikes could be at hazardous levels (>42.4V peak) and
could damage sensitive DUTs. Never touch external circuitry or the test leads
when powering up the SourceMeter. It is good practice to always disconnect
DUTs from the SourceMeter before powering up the SourceMeter.
Up to 210V may be present on the output and guard terminals. To prevent elec-
trical shock that could cause injury or death, NEVER make or break connec-
tions to the SourceMeter while it is on or is connected to an external source.
