Remote Sense 

 

Description 

Remote sense can be used to help compensate 
for long cable length. The longer the cable, the 
higher the potential resistance and inductance, 
therefore a short cable is best. Twisting the 
cable can help reduce induced inductance and 
using the Vsense terminals compensates the 
voltage drop seen across the load leads, 
especially leads with higher resistance. This is 
useful when used in CV, CR or CP mode.   

Steps 

1.  Turn the power off from the rear panel or put 

the unit into standby mode. 

2.  Turn the power off from the DUT. 

3.  Connect the sense wires to the sense terminals: 



 

Connect the positive sense (+S) terminal to the 
high potential output of the DUT.  



 

Connect the negative sense (-S) terminal to the 
low potential output of the DUT.
