INTRODUCTION

This reference and programming guide contains condensed specifica-

tions, descriptions of the various features and information for using the

Model 617.

Included with descriptions of each feature are brief operating instruc-

tions and some examples of typical uses.

Included with the programming information are several example pro-

grams utilizing some commonh, used controllers to get the Model 617

“up and running” on the IEEE-488 bus.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Before operation, ground the instrument through a properly earth

grounded power receptacle.

2. Before servicing, disconnect the instrument from the power line, all

other equipment and consult the Model 617 instruction Manual.

3. Do not touch any terminals while the instrument is turned on or con-

nected to any other test equipment.

DISPLAY ANNUNCIATORS

Readings can be displayed with either alpha exponents or numeric ax-

ponents. A front panel program toggles the exponent mode (see PRO-

GRAM FEATURES).

ALPHA EXPONENTS

mV or V: millivolts or volts.

kfl, MQ, Gg, M or PG: kilohms, megohms, gigohms, teraohms or

petaohms.

pA, nA, fl or mA: picoamps, nanoamps, microamps or milliamps.

nC or PC: nanocoulombs or picocoulombs.

NUMERIC EXPONENTS

Positive Exponents: 0 through 18.

Negative Exponente: -01 through - 12.

Example: A displayed exponent of - 12 = lo- 12.

Display Status-Three indicator lights define what is being read on the

display.

METER Indicator Light-Indicates that electrometer readings are be-

ing displayed.

SOURCE Indicator Light-Indicates that the voltage source

W-SOURCE) value is being displayed.

DATA Indicator Light-Indicates that the data store is in the recall

mode end a previously stored reading is being displayed. A flashing

DATA light indicates that the data store is full.

NOTE:

The DISPLAY button toggles the display between source and the cur-

rent mode (METER or DATA).

IEEE Status Indicators-The TALK, LISTEN and REMOTE indicators

are used when programming the instrument over the IEEE-488 bus.

These status lights are not operational during front panel instrument

operation.
