Specifies the compensator used by the Function Generator. Compensator
The Station Builder application must have enabled adaptive inverse
control (AIC) and amplitude and phase control (APC) in the station
configuration for these compensation methods to be available.
How to Run the Function Generator
The Station Manager window’s Function Generator can provide simple programming for use when tuning the
system and warming up hydraulics.
Note:
Be sure to configure the compensator before starting your program.
The following steps give typical settings for setting up the Function Generator to warm up a single-channel
