With the Ramp function variables such as temperature, speed etc. can be automatically controlled. For
example, the temperature can be increased slowly to a rated value and then held at a constant value.
The time curve of such control procedures can be stored in special Ramp files (*.rmp). Depending on
the application, ramp functions can be realized with a maximum measurement duration of one month.
Ramp functions for the control units are generated in a special Ramp editor and saved in ramp files.
New ramp functions can be generated or created by modifying already saved ramps.
The control window is used to control the measurement sequence, whereby a pointer (vertical line)
indicates the current measuring time. In addition to the graphic display, the current values (controlling
variable and time) are also displayed numerically.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the parameter window by double clicking on the symbol. The parameter window
appears.
2. Call the ramp files with the
)LOH
action button. The window for file selection with the
available ramp functions appears.
3. Select the desired ramp file and confirm it with
2.
. The file name appears in the
parameter window.
4. Close the parameter window with
2.
. The control window appears as a symbol (icon) at
the lower edge of the screen. In addition, the symbol is provided with a number field for
linking it with the functional unit to be controlled.
5. Open the control window by double clicking on the icon.
6. To generate the ramp function, select the ramp editor
Control input:
x
Trigger input: you can start the ramp, time or event-driven, by switching the trigger
input from low to high. You can repeat this step as often as you wish. The trigger
event can be produced by any control unit (push button, switchj, trigger, timer,…). If
the trigger input is not in use, the ramp control will start when measuring begins.
Open ramp editor:
