Begin/End times with a command process
For MultiPurpose TestWare blocks employing a tapered segment shape, Begin and End Times define the
time it takes to taper the command at the beginning and end of each process. The following figure shows an
MPT block using a tapered segment shape that is interrupted with a hold and subsequently restarted.
MPT Process with Interrupt and Restart.
Waveform without Soft Start/Stop—The waveform immediately begins oscillating at the full command amplitude
from the Target Setpoint.
Setpoint/Span Time Settings
The Setpoint/Span Times values set the time it takes to change to a new setpoint or span. The execution
time is proportional to full scale for Setpoint and 100% for Span. If the value has less distance to travel, the
execution time will be correspondingly less than the specified time.
