Additional And Advanced Source Settings - Keysight Technologies N6705C Operating And Service Manual

3 Using the Source Functions

Additional and Advanced Source Settings

In addition to setting the output voltage and current as previously discussed, you can program a
number of additional source settings. Press the Settings key to access the Source Settings window
Voltage or Current Range - For outputs with multiple ranges, you can select a lower range if you need
better output resolution. Use the navigation keys to highlight the Range field. Press the Enter key to
access the dropdown range list. Use the navigation keys to select the desired output range.
Turn-on Pref - The turn-on preference function only applies to Keysight Models N6761A, N6762A. This
specifies the preferred mode for output on/off transitions. It allows output state transitions to be
optimized for either constant voltage or constant current operation. In the Turn-on Pref drop-down
list, select either Voltage or Current. Selecting Voltage minimizes output on/off voltage overshoots in
constant voltage operation. Selecting Current minimizes output on/off current overshoots in constant
current operation.
Reverse Polarity – This control only applies if the power module has Option 760 installed. Check
Reverse Polarity to reverse the polarity of the output and sense terminals. Uncheck to return the relay
polarity to normal. The output is briefly turned off while the output and sense polarities are switched.
Refer to Model Differences for Option 760 availability and current limitations. When the output and
sense polarities are reversed, the following symbol appears on the front panel display:
From the remote interface:
To select a lower voltage or current range on output 1, program a value that falls within the range:
VOLT:RANG 5,(@1)
CURR:RANG 1,(@1)
To set the Keysight N6761A turn on preference to current priority:
OUTP:PMOD CURR,(@1)
To reverse the relay polarity on units with Option 760:
OUTP:REL:POL REV,(@1)
To return the relay polarity to normal:
OUTP:REL:POL NORM,(@1)
