Overview  DC Asterion Series 
3-10  M330460-01  Rev A 
  In HW (Hardware) trigger mode, the ramp will be generated when 
an active high pulse of 10ms is applied on the MOLEX connector 
pin-8 (TRIGGER_IN) and pin-12 (DIN_RTN). Refer to Table 3–2 
for PIN details. 
Initialize  Initializes the set Ramp parameters. Refer to Figure 3-21. 
  Press OK to return.

Trigger Ramp  Generates the ramp in SW trigger mode. Trigger Ramp button 
will only be enabled after Initialize button is pressed, Refer to

Waiting for Trig  This field is displayed after Initialize button is pressed in HW trigger 
Mode, refer to Figure 3-23. This shows that the supply is waiting for 
an  active  high  pulse  of  10ms  on  the  MOLEX  connector  pin-8 
(TRIGGER_IN)  and  pin-12  (DIN_RTN)  to  generate  the  Voltage 
Ramp.  Refer  to  Table  3–2.    Analog  Programming  Connector, 
Designations and Functionsfor PIN details.

Abort  In  SW  trigger  mode,  when  Trigger  Ramp  button  is  pressed, 
Trigger Ramp button changes to Abort button.
