Procedure
Description
1.
Select
PROGRAM
from the
main menu.
2.
Select
CREATE
to generate
a new method.
3.
Specify the constant para-
meter for the step.
4.
Enter the constant’s value.
5.
Change the default limits,
if desired.
6.
Program a run controlled
by time or volt-hours.
7.
Enter a value for time or
volt-hours.
This procedure assumes you have set up the unit as discussed
in Table 3, Preliminary Setup Procedure, at the beginning of
this chapter.
The Program menu lists the following: CREATE, EDIT, RUN,
and VIEW.
Each step is defined by the following parameters:
•
Constant, which may be voltage, current or power.
•
Duration, which may be Time or Volt-hours.
Select voltage (V), current (mA), or power (W) as the constant
value.
Use the keypad to enter a value.
To change these limits, select the limit to be changed and enter
a value using the numeric keypad.
PowerPac 1000
Constant voltage: The default limits are 500 mA and 250 W.
Constant current: The default limits are 1000 V and 250 W.
Constant power: The default limits are 1000 V and 500 mA.
PowerPac 3000
Constant voltage: The default limits are 400 mA and 400 W.
Constant current: The default limits are 3000 V and 400 W.
Constant power: The default limits are 3000 V and 400 mA.
Select
TIME/V-HOUR
. You
must
specify time or volt-hours for
each step.
TIME
: Enter a value from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes.
V-HOUR
: Enter a value up to 99,999 volt-hours. Volt-hours is
the integration of voltage as a function of time.
