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.
