Figure 4-1 Binary Search Source Output Control Mode
Normal mode The operation of the normal mode is explained below:
1. The source channel forces the Start value, and the monitor channel executes a
measurement.
2. The source channel forces the Stop value, and the monitor channel executes a
measurement.
If the search target value is out of the range between the measured value at the
Start value and the measured value at the Stop value, the search stops.
3. The source channel forces the Stop
-
D/2 value (or Stop+D/2 if Start>Stop), and
the monitor channel executes a measurement.
If the search stop condition is not satisfied, the measured data is used to decide
the direction (+ or –) of the next output change. The value of the change is
always half of the previous change.
4. Repeats the output change and measurement until the search stop condition is
satisfied.
For information on the search stop condition, see “BGI” or “BGV” . If the output
change value is less than the setting resolution, the search stops.
