6.8.1.4 External Control (Option)
The AC source allows the user to use an external control signal to determine its output.
When 'Extern Control' mode is 'ON', the AUX I/O TTL or ANALOG options control input
signals will be enabled. Refer to Section 5.9.6 on page 57 for details.
When “Analog Volt I/P” mode is 'ON', it will enable the BNC Sync signal input.
In “Analog Volt I/P” mode, the output
voltage is synthesized by the 'Range' setting
on the main interface and amplification of
the external control voltage. The external
input reference voltage range is -10V to
+10V. The output Voltage can be calculated
using the following formulas (when Vac = 0
and Vdc= 0 on the front panel display).
There are three available modes of external
amplitude control:
1.
Amplifier Mode
2.
Level Mode
3.
Volt Set Mode
To enable Amplifier mode, set the Extern
Control field and the Analog Volt I/P field
both to ON.
The control mode is determined by the
Control Method selection. Available
selections are Amplifier, Level and Volt Set.
Amplifier Mode
In Amplifier mode, the power source acts as
a power amplifier, taking a low-level analog
