Waveform Edit
The waveform Editor function allows creation of custom waveforms. Each waveform records
consists of 1024 data points (0.35° resolution). Data points can be indexed in Degrees or points.
A value can be entered for each data point. There are several tools to generate hamonics, sum
to a base sine wave or import a .csv file.
The following tools and controls are available in the Waveform Edit screen:
CONTROL
Purpose
WAVEFORM
Selects any available waveform to edit or select NEW to create a new waveform.
EXPORT
Export selected waveform to csv format file
IMPORT
Import csv format waveform data files.
SAVE
Saves selected waveform to power source memory
POINTS
Select no of data points used to defined wave shape. Available settings are 1024
through 2. For best definition, use 1024 data points. Lower point selections will result
in interpolation of points in between. All waveforms are stored at 1024-point
resolution. See examples on next page.
Vac SETPOINT
Scales vertical axis to show voltage levels.
AUTO RMS
Scales waveform levels to maintain Vac RMS value specified.
RMS
Targeted Vac RMS level.
THD
Shows total harmonic distortion in % of fundamental H1 for voltage waveform.
DC
Targeted DC offset
CF
Shows Crest Factor of voltage waveform.
