Analog Programming of Output Voltage and Current

Series N5700 User’s Guide

47

The analog control circuits let you set the output voltage and current
limit up to 5% over the model-rated maximum value. The power
supply will operate within the extended range, however it is not
recommended to operate the power supply over its voltage and
current rating, and performance in this region is not guaranteed.

External Monitoring of Output Voltage and Current

The J1 connector also provides analog signals for monitoring the
output voltage and current. Selection of the voltage range between 0
– 5 V or 0 – 10 V is made by SW1 setup switch 4. The monitoring
signals represent 0 to 100% of the power supply output voltage and
current rating. The monitor outputs have a 500 Ω series output
resistance. Make sure that the sensing circuit has an input resistance
greater than 500 kΩ or the accuracy will be reduced.
