Output Voltage.
Press the CURRENT

buttons to set the voltage value in the range
0.0 – 300.0 V. If the voltage value exceeds 150V, the high voltage mode (0 – 300V) must be
selected. When the system is in the RESET (Standby) state, adjusting the voltage value in the
VOLTAGE display will also change the output voltage setting in the Program Step.

Test Time.
Press the CURRENT

buttons to select between Cont / 1 – 9999. When
set to Continuous (Cont), the system outputs continuously. When a numeric value is selected,
the test time will be set to that value. The output will disconnect when the time elapses. The
time assigned is set with parameters from the SYSTEM Parameter Table. Units are in seconds,
minutes, and hours (SEC, Min and Hour). You can end (terminate) the output at any time by
pressing RESET on the front panel.

Delay (decision) Time.
Press the CURRENT
︿
or
﹀
buttons to select a value in the range
0 – 9999. When a program is started, the delay (dLay) decision time parameter disables
implementation of system limit values. For example, the High/Lo settings for A, P, PF are
temporarily ignored, to allow for inrush conditions. However, the dLAY decision time cannot
be greater than the testing time. If the testing time is set as (Cont), the delay decision time will
be set to 0. This means that the system will begin checking for out-of-range test parameters as
soon as the program starts.
