Update Mode
The current or voltage setting of the unit can be performed in four different
modes:
•
NORMAL
: the update of the set-point (current or voltage, depending on the
regulation mode, see
Section 1.3.1
) is performed as soon as a new set-point
is received via the remote, local or fast interfaces;
•
WAVEFORM
: the update of the set-point is performed on a specific timing
(defined as a “waveform” attribute, more information in the
Remote Control
Manual
) and it is done internally;
•
TRIGGER
: the set-point is updated by an external event – i.e. a hardware
trigger coming from the rear BNC connector. Please note that this mode of
operation is obtainable only on the units that have the external trigger input
connector installed (ordering option – factory configurable);
•
ANALOG INPUT
: the unit is controlled by an external signal that is fed to
the rear BNC connector. The unit acts as a C.C. or C.V. generator depending
on the pre-set regulation mode (see
Section 1.3.1
). This option is available in
units that have been factory configured only (ordering option).
Please note that the last two Update Modes (Trigger Input and/or the Analog
Control Input) are available only in models that have been factory configured at the
time of purchase.
