Setting the Limitation of the Output Voltage
Note
Before setting the limit values you need to lower the currently applicable
output voltage of the channels so that they are within the desired limit values.
Application
The maximum voltage at the output of the R&S AM300 can be limited. This is
intended to prevent a device under test being mistakenly destroyed.
Setting the
UPPER LIMIT
value for the
output voltage
1.
Set the signal amplitude ( 6-79) and DC component ( 6-81) of the
waveform so that the sum of the two values does not exceed the desired
limit value.
2.
In the
submenu
press the
function key
.
An entry field containing the current setting for the UPPER LIMIT value is
displayed. The default setting is +5 V.
3.
Enter a new value ( 5-55).
The permissible entry range for the UPPER LIMIT value is:
+1 mV
≤
upper Limit
≤
+5 V
in 1 mV steps
Setting the
LOWER LIMIT
value for the
output voltage
1.
Set the signal amplitude ( 6-79) and DC component ( 6-81) of the
waveform so that the sum of the two values is not less than the desired
limit value.
2.
In the
submenu
press the
function key
.
An entry field containing the current setting for the LOWER LIMIT value
is displayed. The default setting is -5 V.
3.
Enter a new value ( 5-55).
The permissible entry range for the LOWER LIMIT value is:
-1 mV
≥
lower limit
≥
-5 V
in 1 mV steps
Monitoring the
output voltage
The new setting is stored and the following parameters are monitored:
Signal amplitude V

( 6-79)
DC component DC OFFSET ( 6-81)
