SOURCE swipe screen
The SOURCE swipe screen shows the present value of the source and the set values for source,
source range, and source limit. You can change the set values from the front panel by selecting the
buttons on this screen.
Source function indicators on the right side of the screen signify settings that affect the displayed
source value:
•
MEAS: Source readback is on and the value shown is the measured value of the source.
•
PROG: Source readback is off and the value shown is the programmed source value. If the
output is off, the displayed source value is replaced with Output Off.
When Limit label is shown in yellow, the instrument is limiting the source.
The present value is updated continuously when the measurement method is set to Continuous.
When the measurement method is set to Manual Trigger Mode or Initiate Trigger Model, the value is
updated when the next measurement occurs.
The icon on the right side of the swipe screen heading bar is a shortcut to the full SOURCE
SETTINGS menu.
SETTINGS swipe screen
The SETTINGS swipe screen gives you front-panel access to some instrument settings. It shows you
the present settings and allows you to change, enable, or disable them quickly.
To disable or enable a setting, select the box next to the setting so that it shows an X (disabled) or a
check mark (enabled).
The icons on the right side of the swipe screen heading bar are shortcuts to the CALCULATIONS
SETTINGS and MEASURE SETTINGS menus.
