VIEW(F): This mode can be used to display any of the
available user defined waveforms in a frequency domain
display. Waveform data is shown by harmonic amplitude and
phase relative to the fundamental frequency. Previewing a
waveform can be useful if you are unsure about the nature of
the waveform that was stored.
The SINE 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 SINE entry will select the sine
wave for the phase shown in the top right corner of the display.
Note that the VIEW modes are not available for any of the three
standard waveforms.
The SQUARE 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 SQUARE entry will select the
square wave for the phase shown in the top right corner of the
display.
Note that the VIEW modes are not available for any of the three
standard waveforms.
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 amount of clipping is determined by the CLIP
LEVEL field.
Note that the VIEW modes are not available for any of the three
standard waveforms.
A list of user defined waveforms appears immediately below the
three standard waveforms. If no user-defined waveforms were
downloaded to the CSW Series AC 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 it will be rejected by the CSW controller.
