A reverse block cursor will be blinking indicating the power source is waiting for a voltage
input from the operator. The numeric keypad must be used to enter a new voltage value
within range of the power source to be applied to the EUT at this time in place of the active
program step set voltage. To apply the voltage, press the “ Enter ” soft key. The new voltage
will be applied to the EUT, then the test sequence will resume after the current Delay +
Dwell time have expired. The “ Esc ” soft key may be used to exit out of this mode.
This manual mode during a test sequence is particularly useful for pausing and
troubleshooting a unit under test when the measurement data indicates a possible problem.
6.13.5 Triggering a Voltage Surge/Sag
To trigger a programmed voltage surge or sag, the operator can press the “ Trig. ” soft key on
the measurement screen as shown below.
A beep will sound to indicate that the trigger has been activated for the Surge/Drop
parameters that have been entered into the program steps. The voltage Surge or Drop will
occur at the start and stop phase angles programmed in the program step. After the
transient, program execution will continue normally.
