Description
Unit
Ramp Up
Sets time it will take to ramp voltage up from zero
to set value
seconds
Delay Time
Sets time delay before measurements will be
compared to measurement limits
Based on Timer Unit
setting

Based on Timer Unit
setting
Ramp Down
Sets time it will take to ramp voltage down to zero
seconds
Timer Unit
