Voltage Output

32 Understanding the HP E1328A
The proper sequence of operation for outputting a voltage from the D/A
Converter is provided below. Refer, as necessary, to Chapters 2 and 3 for
additional operating information.
1. Determine the number of voltage outputs required, and configure the
necessary channel jumpers for voltage (refer to page 17).
2. Connect the output leads to the correct channel V/I + and - terminals
(refer to page 18). If extending the output range, connect the
required number of channels in series to obtain the desired output
(refer to pages 24–25).
3. If remote sensing will be used, connect leads to the S + and -
terminals (refer to pages 24–25). If remote sensing will not be used,
leave the SENSE terminals disconnected.
4. Verify that the compliance current will not be exceeded by
calculating the total circuit resistance using Figure 4-2.
5. Install the D/A Converter in the mainframe and connect the output
leads to the load (refer to Chapter 3).
6. Determine if an electronic voltage adjustment is necessary (refer to
page 20).
7. Enter and execute the proper instructions to output the desired
voltage(s), and the desired mode (refer to pages 23–25).
