Figure 5-14 VOLTAGE/FREQUENCY SWEEP/STEP SETUP Screen
The Volt/freq sweep/step screen shown in Figure 5-14 can be reached from the transient screen as follows:
1. Scroll to the VOLT/FREQ SWEEP/STEP entry using the up and down cursor keys.
2. Press the ENTER key to bring up the VOLT/FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen.
The VOLT/FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen has several data fields. All data fields that are blank to the right
of the equal sign must be filled or an error message will occur when trying to leave this screen. The
EVENT # is the last data field to be filled. Entering the event data field will cause the display to return to
the TRANSIENT screen where a new selection can be made.
The VOLT/FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen has the following fields:
DURATION Duration is the amount of time the output voltage and frequency will
take to reach the END FREQ and END VOLT levels. Duration will
define the slew rate of the output voltage and frequency for the event.
A duration of 0 seconds will cause the output voltage and frequency to
reach their end value immediately.
END FREQ This is the output frequency at the end of the transient event in Hz.
END VOLT This is the output voltage at the end of the transient event in volts.
END DELAY This is the time delay the output frequency and voltage will stay at
END FREQ and END VOLT before proceeding with the next
transient event or completing the transient.
FUNCTION This field can be used to select the wave shape to be used during this
step of the transient sequence. Each step can use a different wave
shape from the available library of 50 user-defined waveforms or the
three standard waveforms. The output wave shape changes upon entry
into each step and remains in effect for the duration of the step. The
default wave shape is always the SINE (sine wave).
REPEAT This is the number of times the VOLTAGE/FREQUENCY
SWEEP/STEP transient will repeat before it will proceed to the next
event or exit the transient. The number of times the transient event is
generated is equal to the REPEAT + 1. Leave this value at zero if only
one execution of this event in the list is required.
EVENT # This must be the last item in the transient edit screen. All data fields
must be entered before inserting the EVENT #. The EVENT # takes
value from 1 to 99. The EVENT # defines the order of execution of
the transient events in a multiple event transient. It is a good practice
to enter spaced EVENT #’s to allow insertion of an EVENT later if
needed. (For example, space them by 5.) Entry of a sequence
EVENT # number will cause the display to return to the TRANSIENT
screen.
