9 Options
9.1 Introduction
There are a number of options available for the MX15 Series, both hardware and software. While
not all or no options may be present on your specific unit, this section of the manual incorporates
the user documentation for all available options. There is no separate manual for these options
except possible manual addenda for special engineering request (SER) systems. If your system
has an SER number as part of the model number, refer to any manual addendum that was
shipped with the unit.
9.2 Option -HV: Additional AC Voltage Range
The -HV option provides an additional AC only output voltage range of 0-400 VRMS. There is no
equivalent 200 VRMS range associated with the -HV option but the standard 0-150 V RMS and
0-300 V RMS remain available even if the -HV option is installed.
If the -HV option is installed, there will be three voltage ranges that can be selected from the
PROGAM menu. (150/300/400). Other than the range values, all other operations remain the
same. Note however that the -HV range is AC coupled and as such offers no DC output
capability. Thus, whenever the 400 V range is selected, the output mode is automatically set to
AC MODE and other modes cannot be selected.
Arbitrary waveforms
As stated before, the –HV (and –XV) range is AC (transformer) coupled and as such cannot
pass any DC component from the waveform generator. This means that any arbitrary waveform
created by the user that is to be used in the
–HV range cannot have any DC offset. The MX
firmware will generate an error message if an attempt is made to select a custom waveform with
DC offset while in the
–HV range.
