Figure 5-13: FREQUENCY SWEEP/STEP SETUP Screen
The Voltage sweep and step screen shown in Figure 5-13 can be reached from the transient screen as
follows:
1.
Scroll to the FREQ SWEEP/STEP entry using the up and down cursor keys.
2.
Press the ENTER key to bring up the FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen.
The FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen has several data fields. All data fields that are blank to the right of the
equal sign must be filled or an error message will occur when trying to leave this screen. The EVENT # is
the last data field to be filled. Entering the event data field will cause the display to return to the
TRANSIENT screen where a new selection can be made.
The FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen has the following fields:
DURATION
Duration is amount of the time the output frequency will take to reach
the END FREQ level. Duration will define the slew rate of the output
frequency for the event. A duration of 0 seconds will cause the output
frequency to reach the end frequency immediately.
END FREQ
This is the output frequency at the end of the transient event in Hz.
END DELAY
This is the time delay the frequency will stay at END FREQ before it
proceeds with the next transient event or completes the transient.
FUNCTION
This field can be used to select the wave shape to be used during this
step of the transient sequence. Each step can use a different wave
shape from the available library of 50 user-defined waveforms or the
three standard waveforms. The output wave shape changes upon entry
into each step and remains in effect for the duration of the step. The
default wave shape is always the SINE (sine wave).
REPEAT
This is the number of times the FREQUENCY SWEEP/STEP
transient will repeat before it will proceed to the next event or exit the
transient. The number of times the transient event is generated is equal
to the 1. Leave this value at zero if only one execution of
this event in the list is required.
EVENT #
This must be the last item in the transient edit screen. All data fields
must be entered before inserting the EVENT #. The EVENT # takes
value from 1 to 99. The EVENT # defines the order of execution of
the transient events in a multiple event transient. It is a good practice
to enter spaced EVENT #’s to allow insertion of an EVENT later if
needed. (For example, space them by 5.) Entry of a sequence EVENT
# number will cause the display to return to the TRANSIENT screen.
