Abbriviations, Symbols & Terms C - 7
PROGRAMMING RESOLUTION
Avera
e pro
rammin
step size. That is the smallest chan
e that can be obtained
either usin
the front panel keys or a controller.
PROGRAMMING RESPONSE TIME
The maximum time for the output to settle to a pro
rammed value within a settlin
band, after havin
finished executin
the settle command.
READBACK ACCURACY
Maximum error in the readback value of an output volta
e or current (at
calibration temperature
±
2
°
C).
REMOTE MODE (opposite of the LOCAL mode)
In this mode the power supply is pro
rammed remotely from your PC via the
GPIB.
REMOTE SENSING
A way of sensin
in which a power supply monitors the volta
e directly at the load
via the extra sensin
wires. The resultin
circuit action compensates for the
volta
e drop in the wires to the load up to a maximum of 1 volt total.
SOURCE EFFECT (line re
ulation)
The maximum chan
e in the steady state of the re
ulated output volta
e or
current, resultin
from any chan
e in the AC volta
e source within the specified
values.
STANDBY MODE (opposite of the OPERATE mode)
In this mode the power supply is operable, but the output channels are disabled
(no power is supplied).
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
The maximum chan
e in the re
ulated output volta
e or current per de
ree
Celsius followin
a chan
e in the ambient temperature after a 30 minute warm-up
time.
