PROGRAM 2 
PHASE  Selects the phase angle between the external clock and the 
output of the AC source. If the clock source is internal, this 
parameter has no effect. 
CLOCK MODE  Selects internal or external clock source. The RS Series 
controller uses an open-air crystal time base with an accuracy 
of 100 ppm. To improve output frequency stability and 
accuracy, an external clock generator may be used. 
VOLT MODE  The RS Series offers three output modes, AC, DC and AC+DC. 
The VOLT MODE field can be used to toggle between these 
three output modes. Both the Knob and the +/- key may be 
used to toggle through these three selections. In DC mode, no 
frequency selection is possible and all maximum current and 
power ratings are divided by two. 
DC OFFSET  When the AC+DC mode is selected, the VOLTAGE field in the 
PROGRAM 1 screen is used to set the AC portion of the output 
voltage. The DC OFFSET field in the PROGRAM 2 screen can 
be used to set the DC offset level. Either the knob or the 
decimal keypad may be used to set the DC offset level. 
START ø  Selects the start phase angle for output changes made to either 
voltage or frequency. This allows changing the output at a 
specific phase angle.  The output on key also uses this phase 
angle setting to program the output voltage up to the set level 
after the output relay is closed. The default value for this field is 
RANDOM.
