The DC current This section describes how to configure a DC current measurement from the front panel. Step 1: Configure the test leads, as shown below. On the HDM3000, you can also configure the measurement using the 10A terminal, which is recommended when measuring currents greater than 3A: Step 2: Press [DCI] on the front panel. Step 3: For the HDM3000, with Aperture NPLC=10PLC by default, use the Up/Down arrow keys to specify the integration time in the Power Line Cycle Number (PLC) for measurement. 1, 10 and 100 PLCs provide normal mode (line frequency noise) suppression. Choose 100 PLC to provide the best noise suppression but the slowest measurement speed: Step 4:
By default, the instrument selects 3A terminal. Use the Terminals soft keys to switch between the 3A and 10A input terminals. When you change it to 10 A, the 30
