To facilitate the setting of appropriate Sum and amplitude levels the output amplitude of the
selected channel can also be changed from the
SUM
set
−
up screen. Press the
CHx
soft
−
key
and adjust the amplitude with direct keyboard entries or by using the rotary knob.
External Sum cannot be used with internal modulation.
Internal Sum
Pressing the SUM key calls the
SUM

SUM source: CH1

ratio: 1.00000

Pressing the
source
soft
−
key steps the Sum source between
off, ext
ernal and
CHx
where
x
is the number of the previous channel;
CHx
is the source of the internal Sum
signal. Note that channel 1 and single channel instruments do not have a previous channel, refer
to the Inter
−
Channel Block Diagram.
With
CHx
selected for internal Sum the screen is as shown above. The amplitude of both the
summing channel (
CHx+1
) and the internal Sum signal (
CHx
) are shown in the display,
together with the
ratio
between them. All three parameters can be selected with the
appropriate soft
−
key and set directly from the keyboard or by the rotary control Changing any
one parameter will also adjust the interdependent one, e.g. adjusting the amplitude of either
channel will cause the displayed ratio to change.
Note that the value shown in the
ratio
field is CH(x) amplitude ÷ CH(x+1) amplitude.
Adjusting the ratio value directly changes the amplitude of the Sum input signal, i.e. CH(x), never
the channel’s output amplitude. When a value is entered into the
ratio
field it is initially
accepted as entered but may then change slightly to reflect the actual ratio achieved with the
nearest Sum input amplitude that could be set for the given channel output amplitude.
Warnings are given when either a ratio, Sum input or output amplitude change is attempted
which would cause the channel output to be driven into “clipping”.
In general it is recommended that the amplitude of the Sum input is smaller than the channel
amplitude, i.e. the ratio is
≤
1; most ratio values
≤
1 can then be set, down to very small signal
levels. If the Sum input is greater than the channel amplitude there will be combinations when
the ratio can be set to a little more than 1. Note that the software will always accept an entry,
make the calculation and, if the combination is not possible, return the instrument to the original
setting.
The amplitude of the channel being used for the internal Sum signal can still be adjusted on its
own Amplitude set
−
up screen; its status screen shows the message
→
x to indicate that it is being
used as a source for channel x.
Internal sum cannot be used with internal modulation.
