'' 7711 Application Example
'' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'' This program tests a set of power supplies using a 2750 loaded with a 7700,
'' 7711, and a 7705.
''
'' The following occurs:
'' 1)
The 7700 takes DCV, ACV, 2W OHMS (CONT), and TEMP measurements.
'' 2)
Limits are used in each of the measurements by the 7700.
''
A)
DCV limits are set to 10% of the power supply's output.
''
B)
ACV limits are 108 and 132V.
''
C)
2W OHMS limits are
''
D)
TEMP limits are 70
''
'' 3)
RF switching to an oscilloscope is obtained using a 7711 where the AC ripple
''
is measured.
''
'' 4)
A 7705 is used to switch loads and to control the line input voltage
''
to the DUTs (power supplies).
''
'' Please note:
''
The maximum number of power supplies that can be used with this example is 4.
