Setting DC power/DC control and protection

Other topics about Common Settings

Overview

You can set the DC power or the DC control that is applied by the E5052B to the DUT not only to protect the DUT but also to perform stable measurements.

The E5052B allows you to set the maximum and minimum allowance levels of DC power/control that are applied to the DUT. This prevents excessive voltage from being applied to the DUT.

Follow the steps below to set the DC voltage and DC power for the DC control measurement.

Setting DC Power

  1. Press DC Power > Max Pwr Voltage Limit.

  2. Enter the maximum allowance voltage of DC power in the data entry field that appears in the upper part of the screen.

  3. Press DC Power > Min Pwr Voltage Limit.

  4. Enter the minimum allowance voltage of DC power in the data entry field that appears in the upper part of the screen.

  5. Press DC Power > DC Power Delay.

  6. Enter the waiting time to suppress DC power until the first measurement is finished in the data entry field that appears in the upper part of the screen.

  7. Press DC Power > DC Power Voltage.

  8. Enter DC power in the data entry field that appears in the upper part of the screen.

Setting DC Control  

  1. Press DC Control > Max Ctrl Voltage Limit.

  2. Enter the maximum allowance voltage of DC control in the data entry field that appears in the upper part of the screen.

  3. Press DC Control > Min Ctrl Voltage Limit.

  4. Enter the minimum allowance voltage of DC control in the data entry field that appears in the upper part of the screen.

  5. Press DC Control > DC Control Delay.

  6. Enter the waiting time to suppress DC control until the first measurement is finished in the data entry field that appears in the upper part of the screen.

  7. Press DC Control > DC Control Voltage.

  8. Enter DC control in the data entry field that appears in the upper part of the screen.

    Pressing DC Control > Execute Control Voltage Cal automatically turns on the DC control voltage calibration function. As necessary, press DC Control > Control Voltage Cal to turn ON/OFF the DC control voltage calibration function.

  9. You must perform this calibration every time you power on the instrument, since the DC control calibration is cleared when the power is turned off.

Applying DC Power/DC Control to DUT

  1. Press DC Power > DC Power Output to turn ON/OFF the DC power output.

  2. Press DC Control > DC Control Output to turn ON/OFF the DC control output.
