where, F
harmonic
= harmonic frequency,
V
full-scale
= the full-scale rated voltage,
F
maximum
= the full-scale fundamental frequency,
V
harmonic-amplitude
= the amplitude of the harmonic,
harmonic-number = the multiple of the full-scale fundamental frequency.
The limits that are set assume a program of full-scale output voltage. There are no accommodations for
voltage settings that are made below the full-scale value. Waveform selection and frequency programming
will be subject to the limit. If the F
harmonic
parameter is above the minimum limit value, the waveform will be
rejected at the time of download, the entry label will be deleted from the waveform library, and an error
message will be generated.
If the power source is controlled through the remote digital interface, the SCPI query command,
:FREQ? MAX, could be used to determine the maximum allowable fundamental frequency for the selected
waveform. The value returned for the query could be used as part of a program to preclude range errors.
6.5 Transient List Waveforms
Waveforms can be selected as part of a transient list. Each setup menu of a transient type has a
FUNCTION field that allows the selection of any of the standard or user-defined custom waveforms
available in the active waveform group (one of the four, 0-3). The active group is the one loaded at power-
on, or selected by SCPI commands through the remote digital interface. For more details on selecting
output waveforms within transient lists.
