Current Monitor Output

  • Scale Factor - 1 V = 100% of range
  •  
  • External Modulation
  • Sensitivity - -10V increases magnitude of programmed output by 100% full scales; + 10 V decreases magnitude of programmed output by 100% of full scale
  • Modulation Frequency - 600 Hz bandwidth
  •  
  • General
  • Display - Dual 3½-digit LED (0.5 in) displays indicate programmed values in Standby and output values in Operate
  • Program Memory (battery backed-up) - Stores up to 100 output settings.
  • Range of Dwell Times:  10 ms to 1000 s
  • Output Connections - Quick disconnect card with screw terminals for output, modulation, current monitor, and external sense. BNC (chassis isolated) connectors for TRIGGER IN/OUT.
