Remote sense and guard

Remote sense
The U2722A/U2723A has both local and remote sensing capabilities. When
remote sensing is applied, the sense lines can be directly connected to the
DUT. When the U2722A/U2723A is in source voltage mode, remote sensing
enables the voltage to be sensed at the load and it will result in better
regulation. If the remotely sensed voltage at the DUT is lower than the
programmed voltage level, the actual output voltage will be increased until
the sensed voltage matches the programmed voltage. This ensures that the
exact programmed voltage appears at the DUT.
Remote sensing is especially useful in source voltage mode with load
impedances that vary or have significant lead resistance. It has no effect
in source current mode.
