Program Modes - Wave Mode

Category: 2.106 Manual

Wave Mode

The output level increases from 0% to the selected limit and then instantly drops back to 0% The adjustment control controls how fast the level goes up, with values from 1 to 99. The second value, is the pulse feel, that allows you to adjust the sensation of the pulse stream, from soft to spiky, with values from 1 to 99. With different values for the left and right channels levels, it is possibly to adjust the synchronicity of the outputs, with one channel rising and dropping faster than the other.

 

Since the cycle runs from 0% to what ever level you have set, say 33%, the cycle will be shorter and thus faster with smaller level values. So 0-10% will appear to cycle faster than 0-50%.

 

TIP : If you want both channels to cycle together with the same settings, use the Join Controls Option before you set the mode.

The screen shows the mode on the top line, then the Step Speed and Output Feel (50:50). On the bottom line the Channel A Level, Output Power Setting, Battery Level and Channel B Level is shown.

Changing Values

In Wave mode the output rises from 0% to the currently selected Level for the channel and then drops back to 0% before repeating again.

So if Channel A is set to 10%, then the level will increase from 0% to 10% in a number of steps and then instantly dropping back to 0%. The speed of the increase is controlled by the Adjust Control and the Ramp Speed Option. Because the channel drives are independent, it is possible to have one channel rising and dropping at a different rate to the other. As Wave cycles between zero and the Channel level set, there is no output with levels set to 2% or below.

The rate of change is from around 1 second to 0.02 second.
