Query Format
PROGram:TRANsient:PROGress?
Description
This command returns the progress status of a running transient.
The response data content depends on the selected transient mode,
SEGMENT or STEP. (Refer to the “PROGram:TRANsient:MODE”
command)
The following information is returned in the order shown below.
Values are separated by a “/” character:
Return Data Format
A.
Progress as a percent of the total between 0 to 100.
B.
Current element progress. A percent between 0 and 100 of the
element executing.
C.
Active step or segment in execution.
D.
Active step or segment time. In multiples of 0.2 ms.
E.
Total time. In multiples of 0.2 ms.
F.
Total number of steps or segments.
Returned Data Format
<nr1> / <nr1> / <nr1> / <nr1> / <nr1> / <nr1>
Query Example
PROG:TRAN:PROG?
57/31/3/1554/20000/4
Example Return data for transient table shown above in STEP mode would be
57/31/3/1554/20000/4
A.
Progress = 57% of total time or 0.57 * 4000 ms = 2280 ms
B.
Current element progress = 31% or 0.31 * 1000 ms = 310 ms
C.
Active step = 3
D.
Active step time = 1554 * 0.2 ms = 310.8 ms
E.
Total time = 20000 * 0.2 ms = 4000 ms
F.
Total number of steps =4.
Relationship between
data fields
A = (((Summing of the element times between 1 and C-1) / 0.2 +D ) /
E ) * 100
For the example A = ((1000+1000)/0.2+1554)/20000 = 57%
B = ( D / (Time of the element C / 0.2) ) * 100
For the example B = (1554/(1000/0.2))*100 = 31%
