Section 22: Performance Verification Series 2600A System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual
1. Press the SRC key to select the appropriate source function.
2. Press the navigation wheel or the ENTER key to enable the edit mode (EDIT
indicator on).
3. When the cursor in the source display field is flashing, set the source range to the lowest
possible range for the value being sourced. Use the up or down RANGE key to set the
value.
4. Use the navigation wheel and CURSOR keys to set the source value to the required value,
then press the ENTER key or the navigation wheel to complete editing.
Setting the measurement range
When simultaneously sourcing and measuring either voltage or current, the measure range is
coupled to the source range, and you cannot independently control the measure range. Thus, it is
not necessary for you to set the range when testing voltage or current measurement accuracy.
Output voltage accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that the Series 2600A output voltage accuracy is within specified
limits. This test involves setting the output voltage to each full-range value and measuring the
voltages with a precision digital multimeter.
1. With the power off, connect the digital multimeter (DMM) to the Series 2600A output
terminals using 4-wire connections, as shown in
Figure 22-1.
