5.7 Program instructions
746 VA Trace Analyzer / 747 VA Stand
5-270
Description The RAMP instruction starts the voltage ramp defined in the parameters.
U

U.start
U.end
U.step
t.step
Comments • The electrode type must be defined before the RAMP instruction.
Admissible are HMDE or RDE.
• The measurement mode must be defined before the RAMP instruc-
tion. Admissible is only CYCMODE.
• The RAMP instruction must always be located within a CSWEEP
block. Maximum 5 RAMP instructions are allowed.
• Apart from the RAMP instructions, no other SWEEP instruction is
allowed in the same segment.
• If the final voltage U.end should not be switched off at the end of the
program, enter a suitable standby voltage U.standby in a ØMEAS
instruction.
• Within a CSWEEP block a wait time between two ramps can be
programmed only by insertion of an additional, slow ramp as flat as
possible.
