V-Span
(Voltage Span Control)
The voltage adjustment range can be controlled by digital setting of the end-stop values of
the coarse voltage control to any desired values. The range for Vmax is 1V to 120V or 250V
depending on model. The range for Vmin is 0 to (Vmax – 1V).
S-Lock
(Settings Lock)
Voltage and current settings can be locked by a single button press. Lock accuracy is equal to
the meter accuracy (see Meter Specification).

COM port.
Ethernet (LAN)
Standard 10/100 base-T hardware connection. ICMP and TCP/IP Protocol for connection to
Local Area Network or direct connection to a single PC.
LXI Compliance
LAN interface is compliant with LXI-C. (LXI is the abbreviation for Lan eXtensions for
Instrumentation). For more information visit: www.tti-test.com/go/lxi
GPIB INTERFACE (Option G, factory fit only)
Option G adds a GPIB (IEEE-488) interface.
