3.10.8 Trapezoidal function
Thefollowingparameterscanbeconguredforatrapezoidalcurvefunction:
Value Range Description
I(A), U(A) 0...(Nominal value - (Offs)) of U, I A = Amplitude of the signal to be generated
I(Offs), U(Offs) 0...(Nominal value - (A)) of U, I Offs = Offset, based on the foot of the trapezium
t1 0.01 ms...36000 s Time for the negative slope of the trapezoidal wave signal
t2 0.01 ms...36000 s Time for the top value of the trapezoidal wave signal
t3 0.01 ms...36000 s Time for the negative slope of the trapezoidal wave signal
t4 0.01 ms...36000 s Time for the base value (offset) of the trapezoidal wave signal

Here a trapezoidal signal can be applied to a set value
of U or I. The slopes of the trapezium can be different
by setting different times for rise and fall.
The periodic duration and repeat frequency are the
result of four time elements. With suitable settings the
trapezium can be deformed to a triangular or rectangular
wave. It has, therefore, universal use.
When adjusting very short time val-
ues for t1 not every adjustable ampli-
tude can be gained on the DC input.
Rule of thumb: the smaller the time
value, the lower the true amplitude.

to voltage. It shall replicate the progress of automobile battery voltage during engine starting. The curve is divided
into 5 sequences (see diagram below) which each have the same parameters. The standard values from the DIN

Sequences
The function’s primary use is to load a source, i. e. power
supply, which cannot generate the curve itself and would
supply a static DC voltage. The load acts as a sink for
the rapid fall of the output voltage of the power supply
enabling the voltage progress to follow the DIN curve.
The only requirement for the source is that it features
(an adjustable) current limitation.
The curve conforms to test impulse 4 of the DIN. With
suitable settings, other test impulses can be simulated.
If the curve in sequence 4 should be a sine wave, then
these 5 sequences would have to be reconstructed using
the arbitrary generator.
