Sweep Mode
Sweep mode is used to create a sweep output with user-definable voltage and frequency
settings. The voltage and frequency settings may be selected by setting the initial voltage, final
voltage, step voltage, initial frequency, final frequency, step frequency and step time. The step
time may be indicated in seconds, minutes or hours. Once the sweep starts, the power supply
will cycle through the voltage steps (from initial to final voltages) starting with the initial
frequency.
Then the power supply will step to the next frequency and cycle through the voltages steps
(from initial to final voltages) again and repeat through all frequency steps until the sweep is
complete. Sweep can also be used to evaluate the efficiency of switching power supplies or
capturing the operating power requirements of the device under test.
The AC power supply can sweep up or down depending on configured start and stop voltage
and/or frequency. Once the sweep is completed, the results are displayed and include the
measured voltage, current, frequency, power factor, and the maximum power output that
occurred during the sweep. A maximum of 10 sweep profiles may be stored and recalled.
