Loading and Saving Arbitrary Functions
The 99 sequence points of the arbitrary function, which can be manually configured with the
control panel of the unit and which are applicable to voltage (U) or current (I), can be saved
to or loaded from a common USB memory stick via the front side USB port. Generally, all
sequence points are saved or loaded using a CSV text file (semicolon separator), which
represents a table of values.
In order to load a sequence point table for the arbitrary generator, following requirements
have to be met:
The table must contain exactly 99 rows with 8 subsequent values (8 columns) and
must not have gaps
The column separator (semicolon, comma) must be as selected by MENU parameter
“USB file separator format”; it also defines the decimal separator (dot, comma)
The files must be stored inside a folder called HMI_FILES which has to be in the root
of the USB drive
The file name must always start with WAVE_U or WAVE_I (not case-sensitive)
All values in every row and column have to be within the specified range (see below)
The columns in the table have to be in a defined order which must not be changed
Following value ranges are given for use in the table, related to the manual
configuration of the arbitrary generator (column headers like in Excel):
Column
Parameter
Range
A
AC start amplitude
0...50% U or I
B
AC end amplitude
0...50% U or I
C
Start frequency
0...1000 Hz
D
End frequency
0...1000 Hz
E
AC start angle
0...359°
F
DC start offset
0...(Nominal value of U or I) - AC Start
G
DC end offset
0...(Nominal value of U or I) - AC End
H
Sequence point time in μs
100...36.000.000.000 (36 billion μs)
