3.3.5. Software Profile Programming (Optional)
The MPS 9700 is delivered with the software ramp profile option. With the ramp profile SW it is
possible to download and run a predefined ramp sequence that the output current must follow.
The ramp sequence can be programmed using two quite different methods.
A- Arbitrary point method;
B- Equal timeslot method.
The arbitrary point method and equal timeslot methods are both available, but only one method
can be used at a time.
