Current Output Location; Differences In The 5700A/5720A Series Ii And 5100B Ohms Function - Fluke 5700A Series II Operator's Manual

5700A/5720A Series II
Operators Manual
You can return to local operating mode by sending a remote command, or by pressing the
softkey under "Go To Local Control." For more information on remote to local
transitions, refer to "Remote to Local State Transitions" earlier in this chapter.

5-61. Current Output Location

The ensure that the current output is available at the OUTPUT binding posts, set the
current output location on the 5270A to NORMAL. If the current output location is set to
AUX, the current will be available at the AUX CURRENT OUTPUT binding post, even
during 5100B emulation.

5-62. Differences in the 5700A/5720A Series II and 5100B Ohms Function

There are some differences in the operation of the ohms function between the 5100B and
the 5700A/5720A Series II. The 5100B generates nominal ohms values: if you request
100Ω, the 5100B sources 100Ω as closely as it can. In the 5700A/5720A Series II, if you
request 100Ω, the 5700A/5720A Series II sources a characterized value that is close to
100Ω, and displays that characterized value. If the remote controller edits the resistance
output, the edited value appears on the lower portion of the output display.
As with the 5100B, the GZ? command recalls the nominal resistance value. Included in
the 5700A/5720A Series II emulator is a new recall option, GO, which returns the
characterized ohms value for the present output. For an example of using the GO
command, see the program example under the next heading.
