1. Do not clamp the current probe around any conductor, but make sure the
jaws are locked shut.
2. Press the amplifier PROBE DEGAUSS AUTOBALANCE button. Wait for
the degauss/autobalance routine to complete before proceeding. The routine
is complete when the indicator light turns green.
3. Clamp the current probe around the 5 turn current loop, as shown in
Figure 5--7 on page 5--21. Observe and maintain proper polarity; the
arrow-shaped indicator on the probe points away from the (+) terminal of the
current source.
4. For each of the amplifier range settings in Table 5--13, perform the following
steps:
a. Set the amplifier range to the first setting in Table 5--13 for the probe
you are testing. For example, if you are testing a TCP305, set the range
to 5A/V.
b. Set the current source output to the first positive (+) setting in
Table 5--13 for the probe you are testing. For example, if you are testing
a TCP305, set the output to +1.00 A. (Each output level is tested at both
polarities; later in the procedure, you will set the output to --1.00A.)
c. Enable the output of the current source.
d. Record the exact measurement of the digital multimeter as M1.
e. Set the current source output to the first negative (--) setting in
Table 5--13 for the probe you are testing. For example, if you are testing
a TCP305, set the output to --1.00 A.
f. Record the exact measurement of the digital multimeter as M2.
