PROGRAM Mode Operation
Program mode applies to either AC or DC output and allows output settings and expected
load measurement limits to be defined using up to nine sequential steps. Measurement
data is taken at each step and compared to preset user defined high and or low limits. If one
of more measurements is outside the limits, a FAIL is generated and the test sequence is
aborted. If no limit violations are detected during this program execution, a PASS result is
generated instead.
Note:
Some of the parameters listed in this section only apply to AC mode and will not be
visible or selectable when operating in DC mode.
