3 Calibration
72 Series N6700 Service Guide
Positive Current Limit
Step 1. Connect a precision shunt resistor to the output. The shunt resistor
should be able to measure at least 120% of the output’s rated full-
scale current (see Cal Setup B). Connect the Agilent 3458A across the
shunt resistor.
Step 2. Select the 3 A positive limit range of output 1.

Step 4. Calculate the shunt current (I=V/R) and enter the data.
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select the Measured Data field. Enter the data
from the external DMM. Press Select when done.
