5725A
Instruction Manual
The 5700A/5725A system uses the following method for ac amplitude control:
1.An rms thermal sensor alternately measures two signals: an unknown but adjustable ac signal, and a known calibrated dc signal.
2.The output of the thermal sensor is measured by the adc, allowing settling time for the sensor each time its input is changed. The ac signal is adjusted until the thermal sensor output is the same for both signals. Thus, the dc voltage at the output of the thermal sensor is not important, but differences in the dc voltage when the sensor input is switched between the ac variable and dc reference are important.
To ensure safe, reliable operation, the High Voltage Amplifier is turned on in the following sequence:
1.The 5700A Oscillator is set to the 22V range and its output is channeled to the 5725A High Voltage Amplifier on line BOOST IN.
2.Then the output of the High Voltage Amplifier is connected to the appropriate high voltage
