Check DC current load regulation
This check procedure uses the same test setup as the previous procedure (see Check DC current
line regulation (on page B-27)).
1. Set the voltmeter as follows:
a. Set to measure DC volts.
b. Set to auto range.
c. Set to show amps (instead of volts) by multiplying the voltmeter result by 20.
Press Shift DC V (mX+B)
Use the arrow key to move the cursor as far to the right as it can go until it is positioned on the ^.
Press the up range button once: M=10.00000
Move the arrow key to the 1's digit and up range once: M=20.00000
Press Enter. The display shows B=0
Press Enter. The display shows Units:
Use the arrow keys to modify the display to show AMP.
Adjust each letter individually.
2. Set the electronic load as follows:
a. Set to Constant Voltage.
b. Set to the minimum test voltage level.
