Performance Verification 1-13
Voltage measurement accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that the Model 2410 voltage measurement accuracy is within
specified limits. The test involves setting the source voltage to full-range values, as measured
by a precision digital multimeter, and then verifying that the Model 2410 voltage readings are
within required limits.
1. With the power off, connect the digital multimeter to the Model 2410 INPUT/
OUTPUT
jac
ks as shown in Figure 1-1.
2. Select the multimeter DC volts function.
3. Set the voltage source protection to >1100V. To do so, press CONFIG then SOURCE V
to access
the CONFIGURE V-SOURCE menu, then select PROTECTION, and set the
voltage source protection limit to >1100V.
4. Set the Model 2410 to both source and measure voltage by pressing the SOURCE V and
M
EA
S V keys, and make sure the source output is turned on.
5. Verify output voltage accuracy for each of the voltages listed in Table 1-3. For each test
poin
t:
• Select the correct source range.
• Set the Model 2410 output voltage to the indicated value as measured by the digital
m
ultim
eter.
• Verify that the Model 2410 voltage reading is within the limits given in the table.
NOTE It ma
y n
ot be possible to set the voltage source to the specified value.
Use the closest possible setting, and modify reading limits accordingly.
6. Repeat the procedure for negative source voltages with the same magnitudes as those
listed in
Table 1-3.
7. Repeat the entire procedure using the rear panel INPUT/OUTPUT jacks. Be sure to
select the rear p
anel jacks with the front panel TERMINALS key.
