5725A
Instruction Manual
4-10
Inside the 5725A, B-SENSE LO is buffered by the 5725A, with the equivalent
voltage called MCOM.
• B-FEEDBACK
During ac voltage operation, B-FEEDBACK is the output of the High Voltage Sense
assembly; this signal represents B-SENSE HI divided by -100, and drives the 5700A
ac/dc thermal sensor. During low-frequency ac voltage calibration, this is the sense
path for the -260V dc from the 5700A Power Amplifier.
During ac current operation, B-FEEDBACK is the output of the current calibration
amplifier. It represents the output current divided by -5 and drives the 5700A
Oscillator feedback.
During dc current operation, voltage from the 5700A 2V dc range is fed to the
5725A on B-FEEDBACK.
If B-FEEDBACK is out of tolerance during 5725A ac voltage or current operation
but no other faults are reported, the 5700A sends a message to the 5725A asking for
a sequenced shutdown into standby, and displays a fault message on its Control
Display. The 5725A FAULT indicator lights. A faulty 5700A/5725A interface
connection could cause this problem.
