3.9.5 Triangular function
Thefollowingparameterscanbeconguredforatriangularwavefunction:
Value Range Description
Ampl. 0...(Rated value - Offset)) of U or I Ampl. = Amplitude of the signal to be generated
Offset 0...(Rated value - Ampl) of U or I Offset, based on the foot of the triangular wave
t1 0.01 ms...6000 s Time for the positive slope of the triangular wave signal.
t2 0.01 ms...6000 s Time for the negative slope of the triangular wave signal
When adjusting very short time value for t1 and t2 not every adjustable amplitude can be gained
on the DC input. Rule of thumb: the smaller the time value, the lower the true amplitude.

A triangular wave signal for input current or input voltage is
generated. The positive and negative slope times are variable
and can be set independently.
The offset shifts the signal on the Y-axis.
The sum of the intervals t1 and t2 gives the cycle time and its
reciprocal is the frequency.
Example: a frequency of 10 Hz is required and would lead to
periodic duration of 100 ms. This 100 ms can be freely allocated
to t1 and t2, e.g. 50 ms:50 ms (isosceles triangle) or 99.9 ms:0.1
ms (right-angled triangle or sawtooth).

of t1 and t2 gives the period and its reciprocal is the frequency.
Example: a rectangular wave signal of 25 Hz and a duty cycle
of 80% are required. The sum of t1 and t2, the period, is 1/25
Hz = 40 ms. For a duty cycle of 80% the pulse time (t1) is 40
ms*0.8 = 32 ms and the pause time (t2) is 8 ms
