Setting Program Parameters (Programming)
Program Number Selection. Press the CURRENT ︿ or ﹀ buttons to select one of the eight
program memory sets (P1 – P 8). Each program memory can store up to five steps.
Manual / AutoRUN (sequenced output) Mode Selection.
OFF manual operation.
ON When set to ON (auto mode), the other parameters for programmable operation
appear in this listing. If the Connect Step (Conn StEP) setting of the programs is also set to
ON, the programs will be linked together. Linking allows programs P1 through P8 to be
sequenced. The system can store up to 40 steps (8 program sets × 5 steps) of different
parameters including: output voltage, frequency, testing time, power limits, current limits,
and power factor limits.
Auto Loop Cycle. Press the CURRENT ︿ or ﹀ buttons to select between Continuous,
OFF and stepped operation (Cont / OFF / 2 – 9999). When set to Cont, the system loops
continuously through the program steps. When set to OFF, the system executes one cycle.
When set to any number from 2 – 9999, the system repeats the program steps that number of
times. The number of loop cycles can be increased by using the Loop Rate value (LooP rAtE
×1, ×10, ×100) which is set in the SYSTEM parameter table. The total number of output cycles
is the Loop CYCL value times the LooP rAtE value. For example, Loop cycle is 2 and loop
rate is ×10, then the program will loop 2 × 10 = 20 times before halting.
Step Selection. Press the CURRENT ︿ or ﹀ buttons to select steps 1 – 5. Each of the eight
program memory sets (P1 – P8) contains up to 5 steps of different settings. Programmed steps
