3.2.3.1 EDITING WORKPOINTS

Clicking on the Edit button in the waveform Editor window opens a Workpoint Editor window. The Workpoint Editor window displays a listing of workpoints for the selected standard waveform. Use the Workpoint Editor window according to the following descriptions and guidelines:

Each workpoint value must be equal to or greater than the preceding workpoint value.

The workpoints range is from the lowest defined workpoint to the highest.

Successive workpoint boxes can share the same value. Equivalent workpoints will share the same wave shape. Wave Designer selects the last workpoint of equal value as the controlling workpoint.

You can click on the related check box to lock (fix) the wave shape variables for a developed workpoint.

You can click on the Go Figure button to extrapolate/interpolate fixed workpoint parameter values for all non-checked workpoints.

When only one workpoint is fixed (checked), Go Figure copies the workpoint (sets the wave shape parameters for all other defined workpoints equal to those of the fixed workpoint). This function should be used just after the wave shape for the first workpoint is fully developed.

When two or more workpoints are developed and fixed, selecting Go Figure performs a linear interpolation of the wave shape parameters between checked workpoints and extrapolation to unchecked workpoints outside the checked ones.
