4.6.2.2 COPY WAVEFORM
COPY WAVEFORM is used to copy waveforms from one waveform number to another.
From any METER display (V/I, AMPS or POWER), press the
fn
key to enter SETUP MODE.
From the SETUP display, press
2
to enter WAVEFORM SETUP.
From the WAVEFORM SETUP display, press
2
to enter COPY WAVEFORM.
COPY WAVEFORM: RANGE
AMPLITUDE SCALE FACTOR =100
0-100%
SOURCE WAVEFORM =1 1-32
DESTINATION WAVEFORM =2 2-16
Press
EXECUTE
to copy a waveform.
This will cause the UPC to stop generating any output while the waveform is being copied.
AMPLITUDE SCALE FACTOR
: Sets the amplitude of the destination waveform relative to the source
waveform.
SOURCE WAVEFORM
:
1-32
may be copied from.
1
is always a sine wave.
2-16
may be edited.
17-32
are permanently stored and cannot be changed.
DESTINATION WAVEFORM
:
2-16
may be copied to and edited.
EXAMPLE: To put a 10% spike on a sine wave: Copy WF 1 to WF 2 at a 90% scale factor, allowing 10%
more voltage to accommodate the spike. Edit WF 2 adding a 10% spike (
).
From the WAVEFORM SETUP display, press
2
to enter COPY WAVEFORM.
COPY WAVEFORM: RANGE
AMPLITUDE SCALE FACTOR =100 0-100%
SOURCE WAVEFORM =1 1-32
DESTINATION WAVEFORM =2 2-16
Press
90, ENTER, 1, ENTER, 2,
to select amplitude scale factor, source, and destination waveforms.
COPY WAVEFORM: RANGE
AMPLITUDE SCALE FACTOR =90 0-100%
SOURCE WAVEFORM =1 1-32
DESTINATION WAVEFORM =2 2-16
Press
EXECUTE
to copy the waveform.
NOTE:
The UPC will stop generating any output while the waveform is being calculated and copied.
Waveform 2 is now a sine wave but at 90% of the amplitude of waveform 1.
NOTE:
When a Program is executed, the UPC will attempt to use the specified waveform at the
programmed voltage. E.g. If the programmed voltage is 100 volts, the above 90% sine wave will produce an
output of 100 V, NOT 90 V. See (
) for an example of using a 90% waveform.
