* Note Nyquist-limited to 25 kHz due to 50 kHz digitization rate.
Note that when dynamic current correction is turned off, you will see additional current in the output
current measurement as the output capacitor charges and discharges when changing from one
voltage value to another voltage value.
The values in italics in the table will change based on the resistance of the output load. The values
specified in the table only apply when the output load resistance is at or close to zero ohms. At larger
resistance values, errors are introduced into the measurement due to the interaction of the output
load and the power module's output capacitor. Use the following formula to calculate the largest
frequency that can be measured without errors.
f = maximum measurable frequency without measurement errors
Co = the output capacitor value (from the following table)
RL = the load resistance

For example, if you are measuring the output current on a Keysight N6731B with a 10 ohm load
connected to the output, and with dynamic current correction turned off, the largest frequency that
can be measured without introducing measurement errors is 530 Hz. If a 1 ohm load were connected
to the output, the largest frequency that could be measured without errors would be 5.3 kHz.
