Device Connections; Set The Voltage And Current Limit - Tektronix Keithley 2281 Series Reference Manual

Section 5: Application examples

Device connections

Connect the DUT (for this example, a 1 kΩ resistor) to the output binding posts on the front panel. For
details, refer to
connections to compensate for voltage drops on the load leads.

Set the voltage and current limit

To set the voltage and current limit on the front panel:
1. In the startup screen, choose the power supply function. The power supply home screen is
displayed.
2. Press the V-Set soft key. The editing window is displayed at the bottom.
3. Set the voltage to 5 V. Enter 5 using the numerical keys on the right of the front panel. You can
also change the value using either the arrows keys or navigation control.
4. Press the I-Limit soft key. The editing window is displayed at the bottom.
5. Set the current limit to 1 A. Press ENTER.
When the output is turned on, changing the value with the navigation control can source
voltage and current instantly. Make sure the output does not damage your device under test
(DUT).
