CLIPPED  The CLIPPED is a standard waveform that is always 
available. It does not consume any of the user defined 
waveform registers and is always displayed in the 
waveform list. A right arrow indicates the waveform is 
presently selected for the phase. If the cursor is moved 
to this field, the ENTER key will execute the selected 
MODE. If the mode is set to PROG, pressing ENTER 
while the cursor is on the CLIPPED entry will select the 
clipped sine wave for the phase shown in the top right 
corner of the display. The CLIP LEVEL field determines 
the amount of clipping. 
  Note that the VIEW modes are not available for any of 
the three standard waveforms. 
USER DEFINED  A list of user defined waveforms will appear 
immediately below the three standard waveforms. If no 
user-defined waveforms were downloaded to the power 
source, this list will be blank. User defined waveforms 
can be given a symbolic name of up to twelve 
characters. The use of any of the three standard 
waveform names (SINE, SQUARE and CLIPPED) should 
be avoided, as the MX controller will reject it. 
  A right arrow indicates the waveform is presently 
selected for the phase. If the cursor is moved to this 
field, the ENTER key will execute the selected MODE. If 
the mode is set to PROG, pressing ENTER while the 
cursor is on the user defined entry will select the 
custom waveform for the phase shown in the top right 
corner of the display. 
  If the MODE is set to either VIEW option, the waveform 
data under the cursor will be displayed when the ENTER 
key is pressed. Press the ENTER key again to return to 
the WAVEFORMS menu.
