8.
Optional: read the nominal values (registers 656-660) of the previously initialized
MS system to be used as value translation reference while running the MS.
Note: The units support reading the ratings of voltage, current, power and resistance even
in MS mode via registers 121 - 129, so registers 656, 658 and 660 are actually
obsolete. Alternatively they can still be used, but without the option to read the
max/ min resistance of the MS system. This is circumvented by reading the rated
values from the master and dividing it by the number of included units.
9.
Optional: configure alarm thresholds, event thresholds and set value limits.
During MS operation, the remotely controlled master unit can be accessed like a single unit,
with a few exceptions. Set values and actual values are always per cent values related to
certain nominal values. Access to those registers is described in the other sections.

Registers 850 - 6695 (Function generator)
The integrated function generator is a complex feature. It is configured and loaded using
many registers. Before you can run a function, setup is required every time and in a specific
order.
First, you need to decide which one of the two basic function generators you want to use:
arbitrary or XY. All further steps depend on this selection.
All function generator settings and loaded data (sequences, XY table) are not stored inside
the unit and have to be loaded into the unit every time before you can use the function
generator. These data and settings are completely separate from what you can setup and
define for the function generator manually when using the control panel and touch display.
7.11.7.1
Procedure for the arbitrary generator
This generator is used to create wave functions like sine, square, triangle or trapezoidal.
1.
Select whether to apply the function to the voltage U (register 851) or the current I
(register 852). Before you have not made this selection, the unit cannot accept
sequence data, because the sequence data is run through a plausibility check
against the unit’s nominal values.
2.
Define start sequence (register 859), end sequence (register 860) and number of
cycles of that sequence block to repeat (register 861).
3.
Load data for the sequences (x out of 99) you want to use (registers 900-2468, 8
values per sequence point).
4.
Set global voltage limit (register 500), if the function is applied to the current. Else
set global current limit (register 501), if the function is applied to voltage. Set global
power limit (register 502) for both modes.
5.
Control the function generator with start/stop (register 850).
6.
When finished, leave the function generator by deselecting your former selection of
either U (register 851) or I (register 852) again.
