Frequency, text box
Frequency for the base function.
Cannot be applied to user-defined function and with AAP. There the time is
defined individually for each separate point or there is no time dependency.
Value range: 0.001 Hz – 1000 Hz
Symmetry, text box [%]
Ratio between positive signal value and the period, like that for the positive
signal edge for the triangle, or signal pulse for square
Value range: 0 % – 100 %; default 50 %
Rectify Amplitude, check box
To select “Rectify Amplitude” -9- must be selected.
For user-defined and AAP functions this check box cannot
be selected.
(See “Base Function” group -3-).
Selected: Rectification of negative amplitudes (positive values only)
Cleared No rectification.
Bipolar Amplitude, check box
Defines the value range for the base functions:
Sine, square and triangle
Value range (amplitude -4-):
Selected: Function values between - Amplitude and + Amplitude.
Cleared: Function values between 0 and +Amplitude.
Exponential envelope, check box and text box [s]
Activates and deactivates an exponentially decaying amplitude envelope over
the entire length of the function block. The information on the time constant is
given in seconds. Within this time the amplitude falls to 37 %.
The envelope starts after the amplitude has passed the maximum value for
the first time (sine: after ¼ of the first period). In case of user-defined functions,
on the other hand, the envelope starts only after the first period.
The envelope only affects the amplitude, not the offset.
Value range: 0.0001 s – 100000 s, step width: 0.0001 s,
default : 0.0001 s
AAP input filter, list box
Is ready for an entry if in the “Base Function” -3- “AAP” is selected in the list box.
Using the input low pass filter, interference on the signal input (X axis on the
AAP curve) can be filtered out.
Value range: 0.1 Hz – 1600 Hz TP cut-off frequency, default: Off,
Step width: doubling of the previous value
AAP input scale, text box [%]
Is ready for an entry if in the “Base Function” -3- group “APP” is selected in
the list box and “allow manual scaling” is selected.
The curve is compressed on the input side (X axis of the AAP curve) to the
percentage entered.
Value range: 0 % – 100 %, step width 1 %, default: 100 %
Ramp time, text box
For applications see online help using the TopControl button
Value range: 0 – 86400 s; step sequence: 0.001 s; default: 0 s
