RAMP TIME & SLEW RATE SETTINGS Screen
This screen allows programming of the update ramp time or individual voltage and
frequency slew rates which are applied when changing output settings. Ramp time and slew
rate settings are mutually exclusive so Ramp time must be disabled in order to program
individual voltage, frequency and phase update rates. Setting a slew rate other than the
maximum value allows voltage and frequency changes to occur at a controlled rate of
change. The Ramp time when enabled applies to any setting change equally.
Figure 6-18: RAMP TIME & SLEW RATE SETTINGS Screen
The following parameters can be set from this screen:
Ramp time
Sets the time over which output changes will take place. For
the time period set, output changes will ramp from their
previous set value to the new set value. When
DISABLED
,
changes will occur at the programmed slew rate settings in
the SLEW RATE SETTING screen as both cannot be in effect
at the same time. Settings Slew Rate settings provide
control over individual parameters whereas the RAMP TIME
setting applies to all parameters (F, Vac, Vdc, Phase)
changes equally.
Voltage AC
AC Voltage slew rate in Vrms per msec. Available range is
0.01 Vrms/ms through 300 Vrms/ms.
Voltage DC
DC Voltage slew rate in Vdc per msec. Available range is
0.01 Vdc/ms through 850 Vdc/ms.
Frequency
Frequency slew rate in Hz per msec. Available range is 0.01
Hz/ms through 1200 Hz/ms.
Phase
Phase angle slew rate in Degrees per msec. Available range
is 0.01 Deg/ms through 359.91 Deg/ms
NOTE:
Programmed Slew Rate settings will only take effect when the RAMP TIME setting is
DISABLED
.
The soft keys on the SLEW RATE SETTINGS screen provide access to additional functionality
as listed in the table below.
