Constant Voltage (CV) Verification
Voltage Programming and Readback Accuracy
This test is to verify that the voltage programming and 
readback accuracy are within published specifications.
Procedures:
1 Power off the power supply and connect a DMM between 
the (+) and (–) terminals of the output to be tested. 
Remove the electronic load or resistor block as shown in 
Figure 5- 7 (A), to operate as an open circuit.
2 Power on the power supply.
3 When the power supply is in limit mode, program the 
output voltage to 0 V and the output current to the 
maximum programmable value.
4 Enable the output.
5 Wait for a few seconds for the output of the power supply 
to settle. Make sure that the power supply is in CV mode.
6 Record the voltage reading on the DMM (V
DMM
). This 
value should be within the limit of 0 V ± 20 mV.
7 When the power supply is in meter mode, record the 
voltage reading displayed on the front display of the 
power supply. This value should be within the limit of 
V
DMM
 ± 20 mV.
8 Disable the output.
9 When the power supply is in limit mode, program the 
output voltage to full rated value, i.e. 30 V.
10 Enable the output.
11 Wait for a few seconds for the output of the power supply 
to settle. Make sure that the power supply is in CV mode.
12 Record the voltage reading on the DMM (V
DMM
). This 
value should be within the limit of 30 V ± 0.125 V.
13 When the power supply is in meter mode, record the 
voltage reading displayed on the front display of the 
power supply. This value should be within the limit of 
V
DMM
 ± 0.125 V.
