UPC Controller
Summary
The UPC Controller is a modular component and is available
in six congurations ranging from 1 Phase to 3 Phase and
Manual Control to Programmable Control. The table below
lists each model according to key features.
All UPC Controllers include precise metering functions with
data displayed via a 160 character LCD display. This, along
with the 30-key front panel, provides the industry’s most
powerful and user-friendly controller.
Controllers are available with either the RS-232 or GPIB remote
interface. Commands are structured in accordance with SCPI
(Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). The
RS-232 serial port operates up to 38.4 Bps. The GPIB interface
is compatible with the IEEE-488.2.
Programmable Output
Impedance (optional)
This feature creates positive, negative, or zero output
impedance (Z
0
).
• Compensates for line distribution or transformer losses.
• Simulates a soft power line for product testing.
Typical compensation range is ±15% of the output voltage.
Transient Generation
Time-Based Transients
Create and execute transients that occur over a specied
time segment to modify the output waveform, voltage, and
frequency for any or all phases. An output trigger is provided
for synchronizing external test equipment to the actual
transient event.
Cycle-Based Transients
Create and execute transients that substitute a waveform in any
or all phases for 1 to 100 cycles. The waveform being substituted
can be selected and/or modied from the waveform library.

Generation and Analysis
Waveform Edit
A full-featured editor permits modication of a
stored waveform. This method can be used to
quickly create spikes, dropouts, notches and other
sub-cycle wave conditions. The resulting modied
waveform is stored for execution in steady-state or
transient programs.
Waveform Library
Up to 22 (16 waveforms on UPC-12/UPC-32)different
waveforms can be stored in the waveform library
for execution as part of a steady state program
or for substitution in any output phase as part of
a transient test program. Memory location #1 is a
noneditable high resolution sine wave. Locations
2–22 are editable and can be substituted in any
output phase.
Waveform Harmonic Synthesis
(optional)
Quickly create virtually any AC test waveform by
building it with harmonics. The process is as simple
as keying in the magnitude and phase angle of
each desired harmonic up through the 51
ST
.
Waveform Analysis (optional)
Provides both graphic (using UPC Studio) and
numeric displays of the harmonic structure of a
voltage or current waveform. Each waveform is
analyzed for its harmonic content, up to the 51
ST
harmonic. Amplitude and phase are reported to
the local display. UPC Manager displays numeric
values as well as a graphic summary of the
harmonic spectrum.
