Operation

Single-key Commands : Ramp / Pause

three seconds before reverting to the default display. The value displayed

is as follows:

•When in driven mode, the present current/field will be displayed.
•When in persistent mode, the current/field will be displayed that

was flowing in the magnet at the time persistent switch was

cooled.

3.6.3

Ramp / Pause Key

Pressing the

RAMP / PAUSE

key toggles the Model 430 Programmer

between the ramping mode and the paused mode. If the

RAMP / PAUSE

key is pressed while the Model 430 is ramping, the ramping is paused. If

the

RAMP / PAUSE

key is pressed while the Model 430 is paused, the

Model 430 continues ramping.

3.6.4

Ramp To Zero Key

Pressing the

RAMP TO ZERO

key causes the Model 430 Programmer to

immediately begin ramping field/current up or down to zero field/current

at the defined ramp rate(s). Ramping to zero may be interrupted at any

time by pressing the

RAMP / PAUSE

key, which causes the Model 430

Programmer to enter the PAUSED mode and maintain the field/current

present at the point it was paused.

Note

If the

RAMP TO ZERO

function is PAUSED and then the

RAMP /

PAUSE

button is pressed a second time, the Model 430 Programmer

will begin ramping to the target field, not to zero. If it is desired to

ramp to zero after the

RAMP / PAUSE

button is pressed, press the

RAMP TO ZERO

button again to continue ramping to zero from the

paused state.

Note

If the magnet is persistent (persistent switch heater is not energized)

when the

RAMP TO ZERO

key is pressed, the Model 430

Programmer ramps the power supply current to zero; the magnet

current will remain constant since the magnet is in persistent mode.
