Channel Reference Selects the command channel associated with the feedback signal that you
want to monitor. If you select None, which is the default, the Cycle Time Out
control is disabled.
Use this feature if your procedure includes tapered waveforms. With the
command channel, MPT can identify and avoid monitoring the transitions that
occur during tapered cycles.
Cycle Time Out Note This feature is enabled only if you select a channel in the Channel
Reference box.
Counts cycles from the beginning of the process, including cycles in tapers. If
the process does not detect a peak or valley during the specified number of
cycles (or segments), it issues a trigger.
If you type a zero, the process will issue a trigger immediately.
If you press Stop and then Run on the Station Controls panel, the process will
start counting over again.
Note This feature can be used to detect a malfunction; for example, if a test
is run when the Master Span (on the Station Controls panel) is set
very low.
