• Source Voltage Level in Voltage Source Mode and Source Range Selected
Automatically
Condition
≤ |X| ≤
0.000 mV
< |X| ≤
0.20000 V
< |X| ≤
2.0000 V
< |X| ≤
20.0000 V
X is 1) Source voltage level (for DC source mode)
2) Source voltage level and pulse base (for pulse source mode)
• Source Current Level in Current Source Mode and Source Range Selected
Automatically
Condition
≤ |X| ≤

< |X| ≤
20.000 mA
< |X| ≤
0.20000 A
< |X| ≤

X is 1) Source current level (for DC source mode)
2) Source current level and pulse base (for pulse source mode)
Note
• If you change the range while a capacitive or inductive load such as a capacitor or coil is
connected, an abnormal load may be detected due to the energy built up in the load, and
the output may turn OFF.
• If the range is changed, a transient glitch will occur in the output for several µs to several
hundred µs. If you want to avoid the glitch when the source level changes, use a fixed range
that will cover the maximum necessary value rather than using auto range.
• Changing the range normally does not change the specified source level. However, fractions
may be rounded within the range or if the source level falls outside the range, the source
level is set to the maximum value (minimum value if negative) in the new range.
• If you enter a source level exceeding the specified range, the maximum value of the source
range is displayed, and a beep sound (see section 11.6, "Turning the Beep Sound ON/OFF")
is generated (only if the beep sound is ON).
