If you are unable to adjust your control setting to the desired value, check the
operating limits and adjust them if necessary (see the Section 4.10.4 on
Changing
operating limits
below). In particular, if the mode button is flashing for a mode
other than
the control mode you have selected, check the limits for that
parameter.
4.10.3 Changing Mode while Running a Test
When running a test, you may change from one control mode to another at any
time by pressing the desired mode button. The DC Converter will immediately
switch to the new control mode.
Assume that you are in Current Control Mode (CURRENT mode button is lit)
with output readings of 100 V, + 150 A and 15 kW. If you press the Voltage
Mode button, the DC Converter will change to Voltage Control Mode (Voltage
Mode button is lit) and begin controlling at 100 Volts. You may then adjust the
voltage setting as necessary.
You may change between Voltage, Current and Power Modes as often as needed
while continuing to run the test. Each time, the DC Converter will make the
change such that the same operating point is maintained.
4.10.4 Changing Operating Limits
If you need to change the operating limits that you initially set, you may do so
while the test is running. Changing the operating limits is done in the same way
as setting them initially.
•
Press the UPPER LIMIT button to view the defined upper operating limits.
•
While holding the limits button down, use Up Arrow (
×
) or Down Arrow
(
Ø
) buttons next to the displays to change voltage, current or power limits as
desired.
•
Repeat for lower limits and for a second load, if necessary.
