Model 6517B Electrometer User’s Manual Section 4: Measurement Options
6. A numeric parameter is keyed in by placing the cursor on the digit to be changed, and
pressing the RANGE keys ( and ) to increment or decrement the digit.
7. A change is only executed when the ENTER key is pressed. Entering an invalid parameter
generates an error, and the entry is ignored. Changes are also ignored if an EXIT is
performed.
8. The INFO key can be used anywhere in a menu to display helpful information messages
concerning operation. To cancel an information message and remain in the menu, press
INFO a second time, EXIT, or ENTER. Pressing a function key cancels INFO and the menu,
and returns the instrument to a reading display.
Voltage source
The built-in, bipolar, 1W voltage source can output up to ±1000V. With the instrument in the normal
measurement mode, the programmed V-Source level is shown on the bottom line of the display.
Connections
If used as an independent source, voltage is availa
ble at the V-SOURCE HI and LO terminals on
the rear panel (see Figure 4-2). If used as an FVMI (force voltage measure current) source,
V-Source LO can be internally connected to amm
eter LO from the METER CONNECT option of
the CONFIGURE V-SOURCE menu (see C
onfiguring V-Source for more information). Figure 4-3
shows the connections for this configuration.
