160 Character LCD Display Parameter Control
The UPC Controller is a highly versatile one, two, or three
phase oscillator/signal generator designed to control any of
Pacific's AC Power Sources. Three controller models, UPC-3M,
UPC-3, or UPC-32 are offered for use with the 315ASX.

Using the front panel keyboard and display, all controller

models provide for selection of power source output mode,
coupling, voltage, and frequency. Selecting the correct UPC
controller for a given application varies with your test require-
ment, desired features, and price.

Both the UPC-3 and UPC-32 Controllers are available

with either RS-232 or GPIB remote interface. Commands are
structured in accordance with SCPI (Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments). Program Edit and Function Key Ouput Control, Slew, and enable Keys
