2.4 Programs
Program Feature (See section 6.1 for the procedure)
The program feature enables you generate the source data pattern that you specified
as a program in advance. Each step in the program is executed in order, and each step
has a fixed execution time. You can also set the slope time, so you can generate step
responses, ramp responses, and various waveforms such as triangular waveforms.
To create and load programs you can:
• Create and edit programs from the GS200 screen.
• Create programs on a PC, save them to the GS200’s internal memory (GS200ROM)
as program files in CSV format, and load them from the internal disk.
Source data that programs can contain:
• The source level.
• The source range.
• The source function.
Programs can contain up to 10000 steps. If the number of steps exceeds 10000, only the
first 10000 steps are loaded.
Program Interval Time (See section 6.2 for the procedure)
The program interval time specifies the execution interval for each step in the program.

Program Slope Time (See section 6.3 for the procedure)
The program slope time specifies the amount of time that the GS200 takes to linearly
change (increase or decrease) the current step’s source level to the next step’s source
level from the beginning of the step. The slope of this linear line is calculated as follows:
Program slope time
Next step’s source level – current step’s source level
