  The Canadian Light Source is implementing an elliptically polarizing undulator (EPU) with period 180 mm for the production of soft x-rays with variable polarization. Two issues arise from implementing such a device. First, a long-period EPU can cause significant loss of dynamic aperture due to strong dynamic focusing. Second, to compensate for polarization effects due to beamline optics, the EPU must be able to produce light with an arbitrary polarization at the source point, which is referred to as universal mode. We present a scheme for operating the EPU in universal mode and discuss the use of BESSY-style current strips in order to compensate for dynamic effects. Tracking simulations suggest that dynamic aperture can be sufficiently recovered for all required operating points in universal mode.
