This parameter determines the amount of total harmonic
distortion of the built-in CLIPPED sine wave waveform. The
range is 0 % through 20 % THD.
Note that changing the distortion level of the CLIPPED sine
wave while the CLIPPED sine wave is used on the output of
one or more phases, forces the output of the AC Source to
dropped momentarily. To avoid this, make sure none of the
phases is using the CLIPPED sine wave function when
changing the clip level.
The group field displays the currently selected waveform group.
There are four groups of 50 user-defined waveforms each for a
total of 200 waveforms
however. This field only displays the selected waveform group.
It cannot be used to change the actual group selected. Group
selection must occur at power up and is done from the INITIAL
SETUP 3 screen. See section 4.2.11.3 for details.
The mode field determines the operation mode of the
WAVEFORMS display screen. Available options for this field
are:
PROG:

default mode of operation.
