Quality Level
|
Choice List
|
The quality screening level used in the manufacturing of the device. Choices are:
• Mil-Spec
• Commercial
|
|
Rheostat
|
Checkbox [FN1 only]
|
When cleared, a potentiometer connects the device in the circuit. When selected, a rheostat connects the device in the circuit. The parameters that are made available depend on whether this checkbox is selected. For example, power parameters are made available for potentiometers, and current parameters are made available for rheostats.

|
Number of Sections
|
Integer [FN1 only]
|
The number of sections on the device. This value is used in the actual power stress ratio calculations.
|
|
Section Used
|
Integer [FN1 only]
|
The section of the potentiometer that is used. This number cannot be greater than the value for Number of Sections. This value is used in the power stress calculations.
