Operating Mode – Selecting
The CFS100 Series power sources can be operated in one of three operating modes. The
following sections describe each mode in detail.
6.9.1
Available Operating Modes
The following modes can be selected.
•
PROGRAM
This mode uses up to 50 memory locations in which the user can
store up to nine test steps each. Each test steps contains the output
settings for an AC output and measurement pass fail limits as well
as dwell times. Steps are recalled in sequence when the
“
TEST/RESET
” button is pressed.
•
MANUAL
This mode also provides an AC output, but there is only one AC
output setting that is applied to the EUT when the “
TEST/RESET
”
button is pressed. In MANUAL mode, the output voltage and
frequency can be changed dynamically by using the shuttle knob to
slew either voltage or frequency up or down. This can be done
while the output is ON and the Measurement screen shows all load
read back values.
This mode also allows a number of user limits to be defined for
voltage and frequency so the operator cannot accidentally output
values that are too low and/or too high.
•
DC
This mode is similar to the MANUAL mode but applies a DC output.
There is no frequency programming in this mode but the voltage
can be slewed using the shuttle knob and High and Low user limits
can be set for the DC voltage setting.
6.9.2
On Screen Operating Mode Indication
The selected operating mode is indicated in the upper left hand corner of the LCD display
when the output is on. In PROGRAM mode, the letter “
M
” followed by a memory and step
number separated by a dash is displayed as shown here. The first number (1) reference the
memory location selected (from 1 through 50). The second number references the STEP
number that is active (from 1 through 9). Example below (“
M 1-1
”)shows Memory 1, step 1
is active.
