Using the 700-IV Current Shunt
To source and measure current simultaneously, you
need to use a current shunt and use the volts
measure function. The Fluke 700-IV current shunt is
designed specifically for use with the MasterCAL
Calibrators. To measure current with the current
shunt, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the current shunt to the MEAS V jacks
(rightmost).
2. Connect the current signal to be measured to the
current shunt.
3. Select the dc voltage measure function.
4. Press the Scale softkey.
5. Select Current Shunt from the list.
6. The calibrator is automatically configured using
custom units appropriate for the current shunt.
Damping Your Measurements
The calibrator normally applies a software filter to
dampen measurements in all functions except
continuity. The specifications assume that damping
is turned on. The damping method is a running
average of the last several measurements. Beta
recommends that you leave damping on. Turning
damping off may be useful when measurement
response is more important than accuracy or noise
reduction. If you want to turn off damping, press the
More Choices softkey twice, then press the Dampen
softkey so that Off appears. Press Dampen again to
turn damping back on. The default state is On .
