About Profile Types
You can create two types of profiles with the Profile Editor:
• Block-Arbitrary
• Phase (for multichannel systems only)
Both types use the same basic structure. However, in addition to the properties
contained in block-arbitrary profiles, with phase profiles you can change the
phase relationship between channels.
Block-Arbitrary Profiles
A block-arbitrary profile can control multiple channels, with each channel
running independently.
A block refers to a command with two end levels and a cycle count, frequency,
and shape that defines the way the signal should fluctuate between those end
levels. An arbitrary segment refers to direct movement from one end level to
another end level.
A block-arbitrary profile can consist of a group of single segments or blocks of
repeating segments (cycles) for each channel. Each segment can have a different
shape, rate, number of repeats, and amplitude.
This is an example of a
two-channel block-
arbitrary profile plot.
