Abstract
An electronic device for controlling applications using at least one piezoelectric, electrostrictive, or magnetostrictive transducer. The device includes an electric power generator, electronic control means capable of automatically controlling the electric power generator by using a control macro-function, and an electronic memory. Stored in the memory are the following: a first family of control functions including one or more different elementary control functions, each elementary control function of the first family making it possible to adjust the amplitude of the control signal; a second family of control functions including one or more different elementary control functions, each elementary control function of the second family making it possible to adjust the duration of the control signal; and a third family of control functions including several different elementary control functions, each elementary control function of the third family making it possible to adjust the cycle of the control signal.
