as this field is specified in seconds, not milliseconds. The highest time resolution available
for list transients is 1 ms or 0.001 s.

14. If you have an MX Series AC source, move down to the FUNCTION field and use the knob
to select SINE. The knob will allow you to scroll through all available wave shapes in the
active WAVE GROUP. If you have a –1 or -3 standard controller, this field will not be visible.
15. Move the cursor to the REPEAT field and enter 0. This means this event will be executed
once and not repeated. Do not confuse this event level repeat capability with the entire li
level repeat field, which we will use later.
16. Move the cursor down to the EVENT # field and enter a number from 1 through 99. The
transient list will be executed in order of event number. Leaving a gap between event
numbers allows you to insert events at different places later in the sequence. Deleting
events is always possible regardless of the event number. For the purpose of this exercise,
we will start with EVENT # 5. Enter 5 and press the ENTER key. This brings you back to the
TRANSIENTS menu.
17. Repeat steps 6 through 16 two more times using 120 V, 83 ms and 80 V, 150 ms as values
for EVENT # 10 and EVENT #15.
18. Once you have programmed these three events, move the cursor in the TRANSIENTS
menu to the START/VIEW SEQUENCE field and press the ENTER key. This will get you to

If more than five events are programmed, you can scroll through the list using the UP and
DOWN arrow keys. To edit an existing event, move the cursor to the relevant event number
and press the ENTER key.
19. Move the cursor to the REPEAT #0 field and enter 1. This will cause the transient progr
to repeat once and thus run two times total. Do not confuse this global list level repeat
capability with the list
20. Make sure the output relay is closed using the OUTPUT ON/OFF key. If you start a trans
program with the relay open, an error message will appear.
21. Move the cursor to the START field and press the ENTER key. The transient program you
just created will execute two times. If you have an oscilloscope connected to th
