Automatic Tuning Parameters

You can allow the tuning algorithm to sweep the entire range of generator
frequencies, or you can optimize the automatic tuning by setting tuning parameters.
For additional information on these parameters and how to use them, contact AE
Global Services..
Table 5‑7 describes frequency tuning parameters and shows the AE Host command
used to set or report each parameter value. See the AE Host for additional description
of the commands and parameter ranges.
Table 5‑7. Frequency tuning parameters
Parameter
Frequency tuning Toggles between automatic tuning and manual
mode frequency adjustment.
Start frequency Sets the start frequency for automatic tuning. Must be
(kHz) within the minimum and maximum specified
frequency.
Minimum Sets the low frequency limit for automatic tuning. Does
frequency (kHz) not affect the range of manual frequency setting.
Maximum Sets the high frequency limit for automatic tuning.
frequency (kHz) Does not affect the range of manual frequency setting.
Frequency step Sets the maximum single frequency step the generator
maximum (Hz) uses during automatic tuning. Large values are faster
but may cause overshoot. Smaller values are more
stable but may not keep up with a dynamic load.
Frequency step Sets the minimum single frequency step the generator
minimum (Hz) uses during automatic tuning. Large values are faster
but may cause overshoot. Smaller values are more
stable but may not keep up with a dynamic load.
Smaller values should be large enough to make the
resulting change in load reflection coefficient
significant when compared to system and measurement
fluctuations and noise.
Retuning threshold If parameter D increases beyond its tuned value plus
the retuning threshold value (D_tuned + retuning
threshold), the generator starts the retuning process.

Description
• Fixed: Turns automatic tuning off, allowing to set
or change generator frequency manually.
• Sweep: Turns automatic tuning on. The generator
will accept but not act on manual frequency
commands until placed back into fixed mode.
