2.3.2. Installation in a System The AutoWave is used to control one or more DC sources and / or for measuring and recording of the transient behavior of a voltage during a sequence. 2.3.2.1. Installation or mount in a 19” Rack 1.
There are two solutions to connect the computer to the AutoWave. - IEEE connection - Ethernet connection Both interface connections are applicable. Depends of the implementation EM Test propose the IEEE or Ethernet interface. iso.control software uses the IEEE interface. Ethernet interface is not supported by iso.control.

Supply connections from VDS200 to UCS200 and PFS200 can be wired inside the rack. Note : Do never connect The PFS200 output 0-10V in parallel with any AutoWave output. In this case the controlled DC source will deliver a wrong output signal. It is not allowed to connect two output sources in parallel.

EM TEST equipment. EM TEST doesn’t know each customer’s Quality Assurance Policy nor do we know how often the equipment is used and what kind of tests are performed during the life cycle of a test equipment. Only the customer knows all the details and therefore the customer needs to specify the calibration interval for his test equipment.

A bar graph shows the booting progress. After a successful update the actual firmware of the AutoWave is displayed in the field “Actual Firmware Version”. 4. Press the OK button to return to the Device Setup Window.
8.2. Basic Waves The AutoWave generates the waves like an arbitrary generator as PointWaves, where all samples are stored in a file. As an advantage the AutoWave firmware generates the waves as segmented waves from a parameter list. This has the advantage to save a lot of memory and to create waves who can not be realized by PointWaves.
