Using remote sense
Use remote sensing to regulate the output voltage at the device under test. This feature lets you
compensate for the voltage drop in the leads between the power supply front-end terminals and the
device-under-test.
To set the remote sensing mode:
1. Remove any jumpers or shorting clip on the rear panel terminal strip connectors between DRIVE
+ and SENSE + and between DRIVE – and SENSE –.
2. See the following figure and connect a pair of sense leads from SENSE + and SENSE - to the
device under test.
To assure system stability, use a jacketed, twisted-pair cable between the remote sense terminals of
the Series 2200 and the load.
3. Connect a pair of drive leads from the DRIVE + and DRIVE - to the device under test.
