15. 4 8 Selecting a Waveform The square wave provides a high frequency content waveform with relative fast rise and fall times Due to AC amplifier bandwidth limitations the frequency content of the standard square wave has been kept within the amplifier s capabilities As the fundamental frequency is increased the relative contribution of higher harmonics is reduced The clipped sine wave may be used to simulate voltage distortion levels to the unit under test The total harmonic distortion level may be programmed in percent using the CLIP THD field directly below the FUNC entry Note that changing the distortion level of the clipped waveform forces the AC source to regenerate the clipped sine wave s data points and reload the waveform register with the newly requested data This process requires the output to be dropped briefly To avoid interrupting the voltage output to the unit under test set the clip level needed before closing the output relay and do not change it while the EUT is under power You can then toggle between the clipped sine wave and any other waveform in memory without interrupting the output 4 4 2 Creating Custom Waveforms The iX controller supports up to 50 user defined waveforms in addition to the 3 standard waveforms Custom waveforms cannot be created from the front panel of the iX Series Rather they have to be downloaded through the IEEE 488 LAN or USB interface Each waveform is defined by 1024 data points Ea
