Specifying 2-Wire or 4-Wire Sense

When 4w mode is selected, ensure the load is connected to the rear panel output for accurate reading.
DO NOT USE both front and rear panel output concurrently. This may lead to inaccurate output reading.
You have the option to use the remote sense terminals on the rear panel to measure the voltage at the device under
test (DUT).
1. Press Source Settings.
2. Press Sense 2w or Sense 4w to select 2-wire sense or 4-wire sense.
3. Press Back to exit and return to the meter-view display.

4-wire sense inputs. By default, 2w is selected.
