ALC is typically used in matrix depletion fatigue tests where only one or two
cycles of a particular amplitude are executed before new amplitudes are
introduced.

Adaptive Harmonic

Cencellation (AHC)

Adaptive Harmonic Cancellation (AHC) works with Amplitude Phase Control
(APC) to minimize spurious harmonic distortion.

Note

The adaptive harmonic canceller function can only be enabled if
Amplitude Phase Control (APC) is on.

Adaptive Harmonic Cancellation allows you to set up adaptive harmonic
cancellers to reduce or cancel spurious harmonics in the feedback when
programming sine waves. This approach injects input harmonics into the
controller command waveform with just the right phase and amplitude to cancel
the feedback harmonics.
