UPC CONTROLLER SPECIFICATIONS

The UPC controller is essentially a 3f AC arbitrary waveform generator and Precision AC metering system. Each
waveform stored in the UPC is encoded with 12 bit amplitude and 10 bit time resolution for each cycle. The waveform for
each phase may be independently selected and may be independently
varied in amplitude and phase angle with respect to phase A.
The UPC output metering samples the output volts and amps at 512 samples per measurement using a 12 bit A/D converter.
This technique provides exceptional metering accuracy and resolution (20 bits), and delivers a high-fidelity waveform back
to a host computer for analysis.
The UPC includes a remote GPIB interface compatible with IEEE 488.2 and SCPI. An available option is an RS-232 serial
port that operates up to 38.4 kBaud.
