Measurement Procedure 
Preparations for Measurement 
1 Have the N2779A power supply and oscilloscope ready for 
waveform measurement ready. 
2 Turn the power switch off and connect the power cord. 
3 Connect the power plug of the current probe to the power 
receptacle of the N2779A. 
4 Turn the N2779A power switch on, and check that the 
front panel power indicator lights. 
Demagnetization and Zero Adjustment 
1 With the oscilloscope input at ground, adjust the trace to 
the zero position. 
2 Set the input coupling of the oscilloscope to DC. 
CAUTION
Before turning on the power, make sure that the voltage of 
the power supply being used matches the supply voltage 
indicated on the rear panel of the N2779A. 
NOTE
The output of this unit is terminated internally. Use a high 
impedance input to the measuring instrument. Accurate 
measurements are not possible when the input impedance of 
the oscilloscope is set to 50 . Besure to set the input 
impedance to 1 M before making measurements. If the 
oscilloscope input impedance cannot be set to 1 M then the 
Agilent E2697A impedance adaptor can be purchased.
