Configuring a Turn-On/Turn-Off Sequence
Model N6705 User's Guide
Turn-on and turn-off delays control the turn-on and turn-off timing of
the outputs in relation to each other.
You can also synchronize Output On/Off delays across multiple mainframes.
NOTE
Refer to Appendix C under "Output Couple Controls" for further information.
Step 1 – Set the output voltage and current of the output channels:
Refer to steps 1 and 2 under "Controlling the Outputs" and set the
output voltage and current values of all outputs that will be
sequenced.
Step 2 – Configure the turn-on turn-off delays:
Press the Settings key twice to access the Output On/Off Delays
window. Enter the On Delays and Off Delays for all outputs that will
participate in the output on/off delay sequence. Values can range
from 0 to 1023 seconds.
All power modules have an internal turn-on delay that applies from
the time that the command to turn on the output is received until the
output actually turns on. This turn-on delay is automatically added to
the On Delays values. The turn-on delay does not apply when outputs
turn off. To view the delay, select the Output Coupling button.
Normally, the firmware automatically calculates the delay offset
based on the longest minimum turn-on delay of the installed power
modules. However, if you will be excluding some outputs from
participating in an output on/off delay sequence as described Step 3,
the delay offset may be different based on the outputs that you will
actually be sequencing. The minimum turn-on delays of the power
modules are documented in the Agilent N6700 Modular Power
System Family Specifications Guide.
