Operation and Features
Source current operation
To set up the U2722A/U2723A for source current operation, proceed as
follows.
Agilent Measurement Manager operation
1 Connect a load to the output terminals.
2 Turn on the U2722A/U2723A.
In source current mode, the current values between the meter and limit
modes are the same, but the voltage values are not. The changes you make
to the voltage only set the input protection values.
3 Adjust the slider for the desired output current.
4 Real time display of the measured voltage and current.

With power-off, connect a load to the OUTPUT+ and OUTPUT– output
terminals of any channel.
The U2722A/U2723A will go into a power-on or reset state; the output
is disabled. Ensure that the USB interface has already been connected
between the U2722A/U2723A and PC. Load the Agilent Measurement
Manager software to control the U2722A/U2723A remotely.
On the application panel, choose the channel you have connected the
load to, set the voltage range to either 2 V or 20 V, and select the
current range. Otherwise, enable Auto Range for both voltage and
current. Proceed to select Source Current and click Output to enable the
output. The button will turn green. Clicking Output again disables the
output and it will turn to gray. Refer to
Figure 2- 4
for the details.
Adjust the slider or key in the value at Drive Current for the desired
output current.
The application display panel will show the real time values of both the
voltage and current of that channel as shown in
