Figure 3-21: VOLTAGE/FREQUENCY SWEEP/STEP SETUP screen
The Volt/freq sweep/step screen shown in Figure 3-21 can be reached from the transient screen
as follows:
1. Scroll to the VOLT/FREQ SWEEP/STEP entry using the up and down cursor keys.
2. Press the ENTER key to bring up the VOLT/FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen.
The VOLT/FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen has several data fields. All data fields that are blank to
the right of the equal sign must be filled or an error message will occur when trying to leave this
screen. The EVENT # is the last data field to be filled. Entering the event data field will cause
the display to return to the TRANSIENT screen where a new selection can be made.
The VOLT/FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen has the following fields:
DURATION Duration is the amount of time the output voltage and frequency
will take to reach the END FREQ and END VOLT levels.
Duration will define the slew rate of the output voltage and
frequency for the event. A duration of 0 seconds will cause the
output voltage and frequency to reach their end value
immediately.
END FREQ This is the output frequency at the end of the transient event in
Hz.
END VOLT This is the output voltage at the end of the transient event in
volts.
END DELAY This is the time delay the output frequency and voltage will stay
at END FREQ and END VOLT before proceeding with the next
transient event or completing the transient.
FUNCTION This field can be used to select the wave shape to be used
during this step of the transient sequence. Each step can use a
different wave shape from the available library of 50 user
defined waveforms or the three standard waveforms. The
output wave shape changes upon entry into each step and
remains in effect for the duration of the step. The default wave
shape is always the SINE (sine wave).
REPEAT This is the number of times the VOLTAGE/FREQUENCY
SWEEP/STEP transient will repeat before it will proceed to the
next event or exit the transient. The number of times the
transient event is generated is equal to the REPEAT + 1. Leave
this value at zero if only one execution of this event in the list is
required.
