CPC 100 V 3.20
Others: Ramping - 3
Use the Ramping test card to define a series of ramps to be applied to a connected test object.
A series of up to 5 ramps can be defined. The ramps within that series execute sequentially, and
run from a start to an end value within a set period of time.
It is possible to specify a trigger signal that prematurely terminates either the entire series of
ramps or the actual ramp only, and then continues with the next one (if any).
Example of a series of ramps
The three ramps defined in the ramps table shown above result in an output signal like this:
Switch off on trigger, i.e., when a trigger condition becomes true
Ramps table (ramp-specific settings):
• output quantity settings
• ramp duration if no trigger occurs
• trigger specification

The feature Manual Trigger provides a possibility to manually initiate a trigger
signal (i.e., a premature termination) of the current ramp at any time. This manual
trigger has the same function as an automatic trigger signal.
Press the Add Ramp button to define additional ramps. Note that the maximum
possible number of ramps is 5.
