ConclusionConclusionThe program finds and follows
automatically the best EP point
All the parameters of process can be changed during the EP

The analog readings from the Power supply are converted to digital in a PLC and elaborated by the automation software
The digital output from the automation software are converted in voltage signals that drive the Power supply
