Description

Run the curve.

When Pv.Run() is executed, the acquired data are displayed in a real-time curve. There are three buttons active during Pv.Run():

Abort	Terminates the entire experiment.
Pause/Continue	Pause the experiment at current step. Continue again.
Skip	Skips to the next phase of the experiment, either past the end of this curve or to the next region of the signal generator's operation.

The active run can be halted in several ways:

1.When the signal generator is finished.

2.If the operator hits a Skip/F2 button.

3.If one of the stopping criteria is met. The stopping criteria can be enabled or disabled using the Pv.StopAt() function.

Result = Pv.Run()

Result

INDEX

•0 = Normal finish, or Skip button pushed

•1 = Stop due to Under Criterion (I < Imax)

•2 = Stop due to Over Criterion (I > Imin)

•3 = Stop due to stable [abs(dI/dt < limit])

•4 = Stop due to runaway [abs(dI/dt > limit]

•5 = Stop due to decreasing (dI/dt < limit)

•6 = Stop due to increasing (dI/dt > limit)
