2.2.9.9.4 Pattern Generation, Example 2. To generate a 100 point voltage complex waveform com-
prised of 1/4 cycle sine wave and 1/4 cycle triangle wave with an amplitude of 10 volt peak to peak riding
on 0 volt level, a fixed current of 1 amp, with relay off, and a total duration of 1 second, enter the parame-
ters listed in Table 4.

2.2.9.9.5 By using combinations of the four basic waveform types, complex waveforms can be generated,
and repeated using the Pattern Execution window (see PAR. 2.2.9.10) to provide great flexibility in deter-
mining the output.

2.2.9.10 The Pattern Execution window (Figure 11) allows the program established by either the pattern
generation window or imported file (see PAR. 2.2.9.2) to be executed. If the Loop Direction is set to UP,
the Loop From window establishes the point in the loop that will start repeating. For example, if the list is
10 points, and Loop From is set to 3, the first 2 points would only be executed once, and the points from 3
to 10 would be repeated the number of times specified in the Loop Count Window. If Loop Count is set to
0 the program will run continuously until stopped by the user The RUN button starts the program. While the
program is running the Running indicator is on and the RUN button changes to a STOP button used to
halt the program. When the program is halted, the unit reverts to the settings in effect prior to issuing the
RUN command. If the Loop Direction is set to DOWN, the entire loop will be repeated in the reverse
direction (the Loop From window is not active). The Loop count functions as described above for Loop
Direction UP.
