Additional Source Settings

62
In addition to setting the output voltage and current as previously
discussed, you can program a number of additional output functions.
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 either the voltage or current 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
Agilent 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 terminals and the sense terminals. Uncheck to return
the relay polarity to normal. The output is briefly turned off while the
output and sense terminal polarities are switched. Note that when
this option is installed, the maximum output current is limited to
10A. 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 Agilent 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)
