s METHOD OF SETTING THE OUTPUT CURRENT
Figure 3 shows the configuration of the output circuits, and Figure 4 illustrates how the sink current value of the
output current waveform has a constant current setting. Note that the sink current is set by the following formula
• Sink current = (VB/RB) × 60 56/RB [A]
