The OUTPUT IMPEDANCE screen allows the output impedance of the power source to be
Following parameters can be set from this screen:
Selects between Real time or RMS mode.
Real-time mode uses a fast responding method to control output
impedance. This mode is faster but has a more limited programming range.
It works at the signal level implanting a digital filter, equivalent to a resistor and an
inductor, in series with the output. It emulates a phase shift and waveform
distortion similar to an actual LR impedance at frequencies within the bandwidth of
the output amplifier (around 3kHz). CSC must be disabled to use this mode.
RMS Mode is slower as it relies on the measured RMS output voltages and
currents to make adjustments, but it has a wider programming range.
It is based on steady state RMS measurements, not on real-time signals, so it does
not affect output waveform and phase shift. It allows higher impedance ranges
while keeping the output stable. It also allows the CSC mode to remain enabled, so
at a steady state level it provides a very accurate voltage drop (on an RMS
Sets the Resistive value for the programmable impedance.
Sets the Inductive value for the programmable impedance.
