Using The Keypad
Shifted Keys
Some of the front panel keys perform two functions, one labeled in black and the other in blue. You access the blue function
by first pressing the blue
key, which is not labeled. When the Shift annunciator is on, you will know you have access
to the key’s shifted (blue) function.
Backspace Key
The
key is an erase key. If you make a mistake entering a number and have not yet entered it (have not pressed
), you can delete the number by pressing . You may delete as many numbers as you wish by repeatedly pressing
this key.
Output Checkout
Important When the Agilent SAS is turned on, it asserts the state stored in EEPROM memory location 0. For a new
unit, this is the factory default (*RST) state. The following procedures assume that the factory default
state is still in location 0 (see Turn-On Conditions in chapter 5 for details).
Checking the Voltage Function
The tests in Table 3-1 check the basic voltage functions with no load connected to the Agilent SAS. These test are possible
only from the front panel when the unit is operating in Fixed mode. The VOLTS display will show various readings. Ignore
the AMPS display.
Table 3-1. Checking the Voltage Functions with Output Terminals Open
Procedure Display Explanation
Either leave the output terminals open or connect them to a voltmeter.
If the Dis annunciator is on, turn it off by pressing
Press key
VOLT 0.000
Default voltage setting. CV annunciator should be on. (If CC annunicator
is on, increase the current by pressing
one or more times until
CC turns off and CV turns on.)
Press
VOLT 40 Program output to 40 volts.
Press 40.00 Enter the voltage. Meter mode displays output voltage. During these
tests, there may be a small (relative to full output) AMPS reading that
will be ignored.
Press several
times
Voltage decreases several millivolts each time you press the key.
Press the same
number of times
Voltage increases several millivolts each time you press the key.
