START/VIEW TRANSIENT SEQUENCE sub menu
Figure 5-15:START/VIEW TRANSIENT SEQUENCE Screen
The START/VIEW TRANSIENT SEQUENCE screen is used to control transient execution. It also
provides an overview of available transient list events. This list appears in the order they were assigned
event numbers. Editing an existing event can be accomplished from this screen by positioning the cursor
on the event to be edited and pressing the ENTER key. This method can also be used to review the
parameters of a previously entered event.
The START/VIEW TRANSIENT SEQUENCE screen has the following fields:
START / ABORT
The START field is used to start a transient execution. When the
cursor is positioned on the START field and the ENTER key is
pressed, transient execution starts. The output relay must be closed or
an error message will appear and the transient will not start.
Once a transient is in progress, this field changes to ABORT and can
be used to abort a transient in progress. If the transient completes
execution, the field reverts back to START.
PAUSE / RESUME
The PAUSE field may be used to suspend execution of a transient list
in progress. If the cursor is on the PAUSE field and the ENTER key is
pressed, the transient is suspended and this field changes to RESUME.
Pressing the ENTER key again will cause the transient list to resume
execution from the point where it was suspended.
REPEAT #
This field determines the number of times a transient list is repeated.
The default value is zero, which means the programmed list runs only
once. The range for this field is from 0 through 99999. This repeat
function should not be confused with the REPEAT function available
for individual events. The event specific repeat value will cause only
that event to be repeated, not the entire list.
CLEAR SEQ
Moving the cursor to this field and pressing the ENTER key will
cause the entire programmed transient list to be erased. Be careful not
to press ENTER accidentally while on this field as you will loose the
programmed transient list. Note that a list may be stored as part of the
front panel setup in the nonvolatile memory registers.

The SETUP REGISTERS menu allows the user to store and recall complete instrument setups, including
transient program lists. A total of 16 non-volatile setup registers is available, numbered sequentially from
0 through 15.
