List:Waveform Function

[3Pi Controller Only]

LIST:FUNCtion[:SHAPe]

Phase Selectable

This command sets the sequence of the waveform shape entries. The order in which the
shapes are given determines the sequence in which the list of shape will be output when a
list transient is triggered. The following shapes may be specified:

SINe

A sinewave is output

SQUare

A squarewave is output

CSIN

The output is a clipped sine waveform. Both positive and negative
peak amplitudes are clipped at a value determined by the
SOURce:FUNCtion:SHAPe:CSINusoid setting.

The output shape is described by one of the user-defined waveform
tables.

The maximum peak voltage that the AC source can output is 425 V peak. This includes any
combination of voltage and function shape values. Therefore, the maximum value that can
be programmed depends on the peak-to-rms ratio of the selected waveform. For a
sinewave, the maximum voltage that can be programmed is 300 V rms. If a custom
waveform is selected for a given phase as part of the function list, the maximum
programmable rms voltage of the corresponding voltage list point or the end voltage which
results from the previous list point’s voltage and the voltage slew rate times the dwell time
should not exceed the maximum possible rms value for the selected custom waveform or an
execution error will be generated and the transient list will not execute.
