Timing Defines a constant time base for the execution of each end level. This may be a
rate, frequency, or a time, depending on the selection in the Channel Setup
window.
Count Specifies how many times levels 1 and 2 are repeated before moving on to the
next profile entry.
Shape Assigns an element shape for the entire profile. The choices are:
Square—Creates square waves that travel between end levels L1 and L2.
Ramp—Creates triangle waves that travel between end levels L1 and L2.
Sine—Creates sine waves that travel between end levels L1 and L2.
True Sine—Creates sine waves that travel between the mean of end levels L1
and L2.
Square Tapered—Creates square waves that taper up from 0% to 100%
amplitude at the beginning, travel between end levels L1 and L2, and taper
down from 100%-0% at the end.
Ramp Tapered—Creates triangle waves that taper up from 0-100% amplitude
at the beginning, travel between end levels L1 and L2, and taper down from
100%-0% at the end.
Sine Tapered—Creates sine waves that taper up from 0%-100% amplitude at
the beginning, travel between end levels L1and L2, and taper down from
100%-0% at the end.
True Sine Tapered—Creates sine waves that, starting from the mean of the
amplitude, taper up from 0%-100% amplitude at the beginning, travel between
end levels L1and L2, and taper down from 100%-0% at the end, returning to
mean.
Note The Profile Editor’s graphical display will not display the tapered wave
shapes. To view tapered wave shapes, use the Scope in the Station
Manager application.
Level1 Defines level 1 to be a constant value.
Level2 Defines level 2 to be a constant value.
