3 Using the Source/Load Functions
Turning the Unit On
When the power analyzer is first turned on, it may take about 30 seconds or so to
initialize the instrument before it is ready for use.
Step 1. Turn the Unit On
After you have connected the line cord, turn the unit on using the Line switch. The front panel display
lights up after a few seconds. The power analyzer's Meter View is shown in the following display.
A power-on selftest occurs automatically when you turn the unit on. This assures you that the
instrument is operational. If selftest fails, or if other operating problems occur with your instrument,
the front panel Error indicator comes on. See
Step 2. Select an Output
Press one of the four Select Output keys to select an output to control. The lit key identifies the
selected output. All subsequent output-specific front panel commands are sent to the selected
output.
Keysight N679xA Load Module input terminals are referred to as "Outputs" throughout
this document.
Step 3. Set the Output Voltage and Current
Enter the voltage and current values directly in the numeric entry fields (the Set fields) while in Meter
View. Use the navigation keys to select the field, then use the numeric entry keys to enter the value.
The value becomes active when you press Enter.
