6.4. Process Setup
The power supply contains many process related settings (manual or timed cycles, ramp times,
output type, tolerances, etc). These settings are located in the Setup Menu. The Setup Menu can
be accessed at any time; however settings cannot be changed while the unit is operating. In
addition the settings cannot be changed while in remote control mode (RMT lamp is on). For
details on accessing and navigating the Setup Menu see A.6: Unit Setup Menu .
6.4.1. Manual Cycle Control
In manual cycle control the power supply output is enabled and disabled by the operate/standby
front panel switch, or the operate control digital input, or through serial host port commands (see
8: Remote Operate/Standby Control for details on remote methods of operate/standby control).
Once the supply is put into the operate state or the standby state it will remain in that state until it
is commanded to a different state or power is lost (see 6.3.4:Power On Configuration for details on
how to retain the operate state through a power off/on sequence).
To configure the supply for manual cycle control set the cycle control setting to “manual” in the
cycle setup menu. Use the following procedure to configure the supply for manual cycle control.
See A.6.1: Cycle Setup Menu for details on the cycle setup menu.
1) Enter the “Unit Setup Menu” by pressing and holding both encoder switches until the
display shows “Unit” “SEt” (see A.6: Unit Setup Menu for details).
2) Rotate the current encoder until the display shows “SEt” “CyCL”. Then press the
voltage encoder switch to enter the “Cycle Setup Menu”.
3) From the “Cycle Setup Menu” rotate the current encoder until the display shows
“CyCL” “CtrL”. Then press the voltage encoder switch to view and change the cycle
control setting.
4) The cycle control setting is indicated by “CtrL” on the top display and the selected
control type on the bottom display. The SET lamp is blinking on and off to indicate
that a setting is displayed. Rotate the current encoder to change the cycle control
type to manual “mAn”. Once the desired control type is selected press the voltage
encoder switch to accept the value and return to the “Cycle Setup Menu”.
5) From the “Cycle Setup Menu” rotate the current encoder until the display shows
“CyCL” “End”. Then press the voltage encoder switch to exit the “Cycle Setup
Menu” and return to the “Unit Setup Menu”.
6) If any cycle settings were changed you will be prompted to store the changes.
Select “yES” to accept the changes or “no” to cancel the changes.
7) From the “Unit Setup Menu” rotate the current encoder until the display shows “SEt”
“End”. Press the voltage encoder switch to exit the “Unit Setup Menu”.
6.4.2. Timed Cycle Control (RTC or ATC)
There are two timed cycle control modes. In Real Time Control (RTC) mode an operate cycle
runs for a specified period of time, regardless of the current and voltage settings or the supply
output. In Amp Time Control (ATC) mode an operate cycle runs until the specified amp time
