Output Coupling
Delay Offset
All power modules that are installed in an Agilent N6705A
mainframe exhibit a minimum delay offset that applies from the time
that a command to turn on the output is received until the output
actually turns on. The minimum delay offset is shown in the
following table.
Power Modules Options and Mode Minimum
Delay Offset
N673xB, N674xB, N677xA Without relays 32 ms
With relay option 760 58 ms
N6751A, N6752A Without relays 25 ms
With relay option 760 51 ms
N6754A Without relays 18 ms
With relay option 760 44 ms
N6761A, N6762A Without relays 32 ms
With relay option 760 58 ms
Without relays; Current priority 23 ms
With relay option 760; Current priority 45 ms
Normally, the firmware automatically calculates the delay offset for
the entire mainframe, based on the longest minimum delay offset of
the installed modules. However, If you will be excluding some
modules (outputs) from participating in an output on/off delay
sequence, you can manually adjust the delay offset based on the
modules (outputs) that you will actually be using.
Procedure
1. Specify which Outputs will be Coupled
Select the outputs that will be coupled. Check Output Channels 1, 2,
3, or 4. When outputs are coupled in this manner, turning the output
on or off on any coupled output will cause all coupled outputs to
turn on or off according to their user-programmed delays. In this
way, some outputs can be excluded from an output on/off delay
sequence and be dedicated to other uses.
