2. Thermally limited in sink mode (quadrants II and IV) and ambient temperatures above 30°C. See power equations in the reference manual for more information.
3. Typical performance for minimum settled pulse widths:
Source Value Load Source Settling (% of range) Min. Pulse Width
6 V 2 Ω 0.2% 150 µs
20 V 2 Ω 1% 200 µs
35 V 7 Ω 0.5% 500 µs
40 V 27 Ω 0.1% 400 µs
1.5 A 27 Ω 0.1% 1.5 ms
3 A 2 Ω 0.2% 150 µs
5 A 7 Ω 0.5% 500 µs
10 A 2 Ω 0.5% 200 µs
Typical tests were performed using remote operation, 4W sense, and best, fixed measurement range. For more information on pulse scripts, see the Series 2600B Reference Manual.
