Operation
Ramping Functions
If your magnet, Model 430 Programmer, and power supply were purchased
as a system from AMI, the setup menus are preset by AMI to match the
magnet purchased.
Table 3-5 provides a summary of the Model 430 Programmer setup
parameters for this example.
3.12 Ramping Functions
The ramping functions are used to control charging of the superconducting
load. The Model 430 Programmer allows piecewise-linear charging profiles
