Operating Manual for XDC Series Power Supply

Setup and Equipment

6 digit DVM

current shunt

variable load

0-10 V DC power supply (analog programming interface)

Load wiring sized for the maximum available output current. See Table 2.4, on

page 48.

To set up to calibrate output voltage and current:

Connect a load to the output of the power supply and a current shunt in series.

You will need to use the DVM to measure both the voltage at the output of the power
supply and the voltage across the shunt. You will need to convert the voltage across
the shunt to a current measurement.

To set up to calibrate the analog programming interface, you will need a 0-10V
power supply to provide a programming signal to the voltage and current
programming lines. You will also need to connect the DVM to measure the signal at
the readback lines.
