4.2.4 PROGRAM Menu
Figure 4-5: PROGRAM Menu
The PROGRAM menu is shown in Figure 4-5. It can be reached in one of two ways:
1. By selecting the MENU key, selecting the PROGRAM entry and pressing the Enter key.
2. By pressing the SET key.
The PROGRAM menu is used to change primary output parameters. Less frequently used parameters
are located in the CONTROL menu.
The following choices are available in the PROGRAM menus:
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
VOLTAGE Programs the output voltage in Vrms. The voltage can be
changed from 0 to its max range value as determined by the
configuration settings and the selected voltage range using the
keypad + Enter or the shuttle (if the voltage field is selected).
FREQ Programs the output frequency. The frequency can be changed
from its min to its max value as determined by the configuration
settings using the keypad + Enter or the shuttle (if the frequency
field is selected).
VRANGE Selects 150V or 300V voltage range (if available). The actual
range values may be different depending on the configuration.
The value of this field can be changed with the shuttle as long as
the active pointer () points to the VRANGE entry. If only one
voltage range is available, this field cannot be changed.
PHASE Selects the phase angle between the external clock and the
output of the AC source. If the clock source is internal, this
parameter has no effect.
FUNC Selects the waveform for the selected phase. On 751iX/1501iX
models, available choices are SINUSOID, SQUARE and
CLIPPED or any user defined waveform that was downloaded to
the AC source waveform memory using the IEEE-488, LAN or
USB interface.
This field is fixed to SINUSOID on 751i/1501i models.
CLIP LEVEL Sets the clip level for the CLIPPED sine wave in percent VTHD.
The range is 0 to 20 %. (751iX/1501iX models only).
Note: Changing the clip level setting will result in temporary loss
of the output voltage as the new clipped waveform is loaded.
This may cause the EUT to reset or turn off. To avoid this, set
the desired clip level before programming the AC voltage and
turning on the output to the EUT or use the transient list system
