Description
Optional: Send 1 data byte (with a value of 0).
Returns 2 data bytes (16-bit value):
• Byte 1:
◦ 0 = Fixed frequency mode
◦ 1 = Sweep frequency mode
• Byte 2 = 0
Set this value with command 48.
Reports the setpoint ramping mode and ramp
parameters or reports ramping memory mode.
Send 0 or 2 data bytes.
• Send 0 data bytes to return the setpoint
ramping mode and ramp parameters.
• Send 2 data bytes to select the parameters
that will be returned, either the setpoint
ramping mode and parameters or the
ramping memory mode.
Ramping Mode and Parameters
The ramp up and ramp down parameters are
independent. In W/s mode, the ramp
parameters represent the ramp rate in watts
per second. The acceptable range for the ramp
up and ramp down parameters in W/s mode is
1 W/s to 65535 W/s. In timed mode, the ramp
parameters represent the time in ms. The
acceptable range for the ramp up and ramp
down parameters in timed mode is 1 ms to
65535 ms. The setpoint will not be ramped in
either mode if the setpoint change is less than
1 watt.
0 Data Byte Version
When 0 bytes are sent, returns 6 data bytes
(three 16-bit values):
• Bytes 0 and 1 (16-bit value) = Ramp
mode
◦ 0 = Disabled
