However, if any one of these is false, the instrument may overheat if operated in a manner that
exceeds the calculated maximum duty cycle, DC
MAX
.
The maximum duty cycle equation is derived from the power equation below by solving for
DC
MAX
.
The general power equation describes how much power an instrument channel can source and sink
before the total power cannot be fully dissipated by the instrument's cooling system. This equation
incorporates all of the factors that can influence the power dissipated by the instrument.
