On the Signal Scope, the trace shows displacement command playing out a composite waveform of
sine, square, and ramp wave shapes. The waveform repeats three times.

The Variable Meter (Pass Counter) increments at the end of each profile pass.
•
The Digital IO Indicator named “Digital Output 1” appears green (turn on light action) as the square
wave shape begins and appears gray (turn off light) as the square wave shape ends during each profile
pass.
The following graph shows the sample profile as the second pass plays out. The Variable Meter named

Indicator (Digital Output 1) is active because the square wave shape is currently playing out.
