Performing the Verification Tests

NOTE: The verification procedure can only be performed from the front panel or using the SCPI
language commands. If your unit is set to the COMPatibility programming language, use
either the front panel
programming language to SCPI.
The following procedures assume you understand how to operate the dc source from the front panel as
explained in chapter 5. Also, when performing the verification tests from an HP-IB controller, you may
have to consider the relatively slow settling times and slew rates of the dc source as compared to
computer and system voltmeters. Suitable WAIT statements can be inserted into the test program to give
the dc source time to respond to the test commands.
Perform the following tests for operation verification in the order indicated.
