3 - Setting the Output 2 Voltage and Current (Agilent 66319B/66319D only)
This example shows you how to set the voltage and current for output 2. Selecting an output was
discussed in the previous example. Note that no front panel changes affect the output of the unit unless it
has been enabled.
Set the output 2 voltage
Action Display
1.
Press Meter, then Shift, Channel to select output 2. On the Entry keypad, press " or
! to select the 1's digit in the voltage field. Then rotate the front panel RPG knob to
obtain 7 V.
If the unit is in CC mode, you won't see the output voltage change until the voltage
setting is low enough to cause the unit to go into CV mode.
