3.11.8 Trapezoidal function
The following parameters can be congured for a trapezoidal curve function. Following applies:
• There is no preselection to which of both, source mode and sink mode, the function is applied to; the settings
decide whether it is “source mode only”, “sink mode only” or a mixture of both
• When applying the function to the voltage, the device can only switch to and work in sink mode if the external
voltage on the DC terminal is higher than the highest point (oset + amplitude) of the wave and the current set-
ting “I Sink” is not 0

Same as with other functions the generated signal can be
applied to the set value of voltage (U mode) or to the cur-
rent (I mode). The slopes of the trapezium can be varied by
adjusting the times for rise and fall separately.
The periodic duration and repetition frequency are the result
of the four adjustable time values. With suitable settings the
trapezium can be deformed to a triangular or rectangular
wave. It has, therefore, universal use.
3.11.9 DIN 40839 function
This function is based on the curve dened in DIN 40839 / EN ISO 7637 (test impulse 4), and is only applicable
to voltage. It shall replicate the progress of automobile battery voltage during engine starting. The curve is divided
into 5 sequences (see diagram below) which each have the same parameters. The standard values from the DIN
are set already as default values for the ve sequences.
Typically, this function is used with power supplies (here: source mode), but can also be used with electronic loads
(here: sink mode). However, the device can only switch to and work in sink mode if the external voltage on the DC
terminal is higher than the highest point (oset + amplitude) of the wave and the external source cannot deliver
more current than adjusted for sink mode (I sink). Else the device could regulate the voltage values resulting from
the curve. The global set values can furtheremore clearly dene in what operation mode the function is run.
The following parameters can be congured for the single sequence points or the entire function:
