Shift E
This key specifies an exponential power of 10. For example,
the value for 100µs can be entered either as . 0 0 0 1 or as 1 E
- 4.
Shift -
This key is the minus sign.
Shift Clear Entry
This key aborts a keypad entry by clearing the value. This key
is convenient for correcting a wrong value or aborting a value
entry. The display then returns to the previously set function.
When editing a list, pressing Clear Entry truncates or clears the
list at the presently displayed list point.
Shift Calibration
This key accesses the calibration menu. Refer to chapter 6 to
calibrate your AC source.
4.6 Examples of Front Panel Programming
You will find these examples on the following pages:
Setting the output voltage amplitude
Setting the output frequency
Setting the overcurrent protection feature
Measuring peak inrush current
Generating step, pulse, and list transients
Programming trigger delays and phase synchronization
Programming slew rates
Saving and recalling operating states
Setting the IEEE-488 address or RS-232C parameters
The examples in the AC source SCPI Programming Manual are similar to the ones
in this section, except that they use the SCPI commands.
4.6.1 Setting the Output Voltage Amplitude
The maximum voltage that the AC source can deliver is limited by the peak value of
the waveform, which is 425 Vpeak. Since the output is programmed in units of rms
volts, the maximum value that can be programmed is dependent on the peak-to-rms
ratio of the selected waveform. For a sine wave, the maximum AC voltage that can
be programmed is 300 V. For other waveforms the maximum may be different.
Procedure for Single-Phase mode
When you turn on the AC source, the default output shape is a 60-Hz sinewave at 0
V rms. There is no output from the AC source because the default output state is
OFF (as indicated by the
Dis
annunciator, which will be on). Set the output to 120 V
rms as follows:
