Current Analog Output (Methods 1 or 2)
General Information and Checkout Procedure
Measurement
Expected Value
Method 1:
Shorting the current output- this method leaves the circuit intact,
however, it will cause the vast majority of the current to flow through
the meter instead of the load (NOTE LOAD RESISTANCE).
Measure DC current
across the current
termination
Compare expected value based on request from
controller. This request may be based on an
override of the output value.
Method 2:
Measuring current directly- this method is most the typical way
to measure current and has the advantage of leaving the load in the
loop. However, the circuit must be broken when using this method.
Measure DC current
across the current
termination
Compare expected value based on request from
controller. This request may be based on an
override of the output value.
