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 1-22
DESTINATION WAVEFORM =2 2-22
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: 1-22 may be copied from. 1 is a sine wave. 2-22 may be edited.
DESTINATION WAVEFORM: 2-22 may be copied to and edited.
For example: To put a 10% spike on top of a sine wave, first copy waveform 1 to waveform 2 at a 90%
amplitude scale factor. This will allow 10% more voltage at the peak of the sine wave to accommodate
the spike. Then you may edit waveform 2 and add a 10% spike. (see 4.6.2.1)
From the WAVEFORM SETUP display, press 2 to enter COPY WAVEFORM.
COPY WAVEFORM: RANGE
AMPLITUDE SCALE FACTOR =100 0-100%
SOURCE WAVEFORM =1 1-22
DESTINATION WAVEFORM =2 2-22
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 1-22
DESTINATION WAVEFORM =2 2-22
Press EXECUTE to copy the waveform.
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 4.6.2.1 for an example of using a 90% waveform.
