Low Level Outputs
: These are accessed through the connector situated on
the terminal panel. There can be up to low level outputs. The number of
available low level outputs depends on the power output configuration that is
being used.
Consequently, the objective of the configuration screen for the
analog outputs, which permits configuring both low level
outputs and power outputs, consists in offering the user a
high degree of flexibility and adaptation of the available
outputs to the application or use desired at any time.
Power Outputs. Definitions.
It is important to perfectly understand and distinguish between
what is called CHANNEL, SOURCE and SOURCE
CONTROL through this Manual. They are defined as follows:
•
CHANNEL:
From hereon this word will be used to
define an equipment Output Amplifier, be it Voltage
or Current type.
•
SOURCE
: A Source can be comprised of a
combination of one or more channels. They are
called Cs1… Cs6, in the case of Current Sources or
Vs1 … Vs6 in the case of Voltage Sources.
•
SOURCE CONTROL
: This is a window that permits
controlling all the necessary parameters of a
Source. Namely, Level, Phase Angle and
Frequency Reference. A SOURCE CONTROL is
associated with a certain Source on all the program
screens, and it is only possible to change the association from this
configuration screen.
