Using Process Functions; Monitoring Your Process; Viewing The Over-Voltage Density - Advanced Energy Pinnacle Plus+ User Manual

The clicks feature specifies the number of high speed counts per click for the
MODIFY knob. The value you enter is a multiplier for each click of the knob when
you turn the knob quickly. When you turn the knob slowly, the multiplier does not
take effect. Valid entries are 1 to 40. If you want a displayed value to change slowly as
you turn the knob, set the number of counts per click to 1. If you want the value to
change quickly, set the number of counts to 40.
To change the number of counts per click:

USING PROCESS FUNCTIONS

Use this option to access parameters that control, limit, or monitor your process. The
menu options are:

Monitoring Your Process

PROCESS → MONITOR
This menu allows you to monitor elements of your process such as the life of your
target, how long the process is running out of set point, or whether the process voltage
drops below its threshold.
Note: In all cases, the voltage and current are measured at the DC inverter output.

VIEWING THE OVER-VOLTAGE DENSITY

PROCESS → MONITOR → OVER_V
Use this menu to view the density of unit over-voltage responses per run (a response is
an action taken by the Pinnacle Plus+ supply to minimize over-voltage conditions).
When the unit detects an over-voltage condition, it triggers an algorithm that controls
the user voltage limit in order to minimize and eliminate over-voltage events.
To view the over-voltage density:
