Note:
The AC source output remains at the last programmed values at the completion of the list.
In three-phase mode, the voltage lists are phase selectable. You can set up a different voltage list for each
phase. To do this, use the PHASE key to choose the desired phase, as described in the example. Note that
fields common to all phases such as DURATION, END DELAY and REPEAT always apply to all three
phases in three-phase mode. When the cursor is moved to any of these fields, the phase enunciator in the
top right-hand corner always reverts to øABC. Frequency transients are identical to voltage transients
except they apply to all three phases at all times in a three-phase configuration.

Programming Slew Rates
As shown in the previous examples there are a number of ways that you can generate custom waveforms.
Programmable slew rates provide additional flexibility when customizing waveforms. Slew rates
determine how fast the voltage or frequency is changed by the controller when a step, pulse, or list
transient is triggered. Slew rates cannot be programmed from the front panel and are always set to their
maximum values at power on. To use programmable slew rates, the AC source must be programmed over
the bus. Refer to the SCPI Programming Manual for more information about programming slew rates.
