SLICE-DHV Operation
The Home screen displays the status of both channels (
). The data for each channel is
arranged vertically. At a glance, for each channel, the ON/OFF status, the output voltage, the nominal
bias voltage, the Sweep Range (amplitude) for the internal Sweep function, and internal Sweep
function status can all be read.
Bar Graph and Output Voltage Indicator
The blue bar graph and output voltage indicator (bubbles 11 & 4 in
) report the high voltage
output. This display is intended to display the “DC” value of the output with an update rate of about 4
Hz and will not capture faster transient behavior of the output. These displays offer quick visual
identification of the output voltage and can help visualize drift in feedback control applications.
Setting the Gain on the Input Signal
The Gain on the input control signal can be set to either 1 or 20. When the gain is 1, the input
modulation signal is directly summed with the DC Bias to produce the high voltage output. This mode
is useful for limiting the voltage range of the high voltage output to ±10 V around the DC bias
operating voltage.
When the Gain is set to 20, the input signal is multiplied by 20 and then summed into the DC bias.
This mode allows the modulation input to drive the high voltage output over the entire 0 to 200 V
range of the SLICE-DHV. In this mode the DC Bias defaults to zero voltage but can be adjusted to add
a DC Bias to the modulation signal if desired. Note that the large-signal bandwidth will be limited
when the Gain is set to 20 to less than 20 Hz, but that the small-signal bandwidth (±10V) will be
identical to that when Gain = 1.
