Click the “Stopped” button at the bottom left hand portion of the screen to place the scope
in “acquisition” mode. The wording “Stopped” will change to “Running” (Figure 7).
14.
Initiate a discharge by pressing the red DISCHARGE button on the PDS-510. If a waveform is
acquired, the “Running” will change to “Stopped”.
15.
Using the computer mouse drag the left scope cursor (vertical dotted line) to the left of the
discharge waveform start and the right cursor to the point where the waveform decays to
zero. The calculated energy should be 50 ± 6 uJ (microjoules) and the peak current should be
greater than 420 mA (milliamps 0.42 amps). The blue line is the discharge waveform and the
red line is the calculated energy curve in microjoules (Figure 8).
If the energy and/or the peak voltage are less than required, increase the voltage until the required
peak voltage and energy levels are obtained. This voltage level might be in the 1030-1060 volt range.
Note: It is recommended that the discharge voltage be adjusted so that the energy is 50 ± 2 uJ. If
there are no values displayed in the red circle area move the right cursor slightly and the values
should appear.
