The collector measurement range is from 100 nA/Div to 2 A/Div.
==Uses==
Base voltage can be swept from zero to 1500 V in four ranges.
The collector voltage can be swept from zero to 1500 V in four ranges.
The three higher ranges require the [[337-1194-02|safety cover]] to be closed.
For the 75 V and higher ranges a [[337-1194-02|plastic safety cover box]] must be installed in the test fixture and closed, otherwise a yellow warning light indicates that the collector voltage is disabled.
Because so many used 576s do not come with safety covers, most users defeat the safety interlock mechanically or electrically.
Because so many used 576s do not come with [[337-1194-02|safety covers]], some users defeat the safety interlock mechanically or electrically, which is hazardous given the lethal voltages and currents the 576 is capable of producing.
If this is done, the operator should be especially cautious as the 576 is capable of producing lethal voltages and currents,
up to 1500 V at up to 100 mA continuous.


A calibration fixture, the [[067-0599-00]], was produced for the 576.
The standard fixture for the 576 is the [[390-0098-00]].
A [[High Voltage Diode Test Fixture]] was also made for the 576.
