ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The range is 0 to 20 %. (MX15-1Pi 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
to switch between waveforms.
VOLT MODE Selects the available output modes of operation. Available
modes are AC, DC (all models) and ACDC (Pi models only). The
shuttle can be used to select the desired output mode.
DC OFFSET This parameter applies only when the power source is in ACDC
mode. The DC offset can only be set to a max value of
220VDC. The rms level of the AC+DC waveform may not
exceed the limit of the voltage range (150V or 300V).
Note: Changing the offset percentage setting will result in
temporary loss of the output voltage as the new offset is loaded.
This may cause the EUT to reset or turn off. To avoid this, set
the desired offset percentage before programming the AC
voltage and turning on the output to the EUT.
CURR Sets the current limit value for the current detection system.
When the load current value exceeds the set current limit, a fault
condition is generated. The actual response of the AC Source to
a current limit fault is determined by the protection mode
selected in the OL MODE field. (CC = Constant Current, CV =
Constant Voltage).
OL MODE Sets the current limit overload mode. The actual response of the
AC Source to a current limit fault is determined by this setting.
Available settings are CC for Constant Current mode or CV for
Constant Voltage mode. In CV mode, the AC source output will
trip off and stay off until re-engaged. In CC mode, the voltage will
be reduced until the current limit is no longer exceeded.
