Remote Sense
Description Remote sense can be used to help compensate
for long cable length. The longer the cable, the
higher the potential resistance and inductance,
therefore a short cable is best. Twisting the
cable can help reduce induced inductance and
using the Vsense terminals compensates the
voltage drop seen across the load leads,
especially leads with higher resistance. This is
useful when used in CV, CR or CP mode.
Steps 1. Turn the power off from the rear panel or put
the unit into standby mode.
2. Turn the power off from the DUT.
3. Connect the sense wires to the sense terminals:
 Connect the positive sense (+S) terminal to the
high potential output of the DUT.
 Connect the negative sense (-S) terminal to the
low potential output of the DUT.
