TRAN- TRANSIENTS Screens
Transient sequences allow precise time-controlled changes to be made to voltage (AC and
DC mode) and frequency (AC mode only) under program control. A transient sequence
consists of one or more list entries (or segments) that are executed in sequence.
Transient lists are created or edited in EDIT mode and can be saved to non-volatile memory
as part of an instrument setup. They are executed in Execution mode.

Transient List Parameters
The following parameters are available in each transient list step.
PARAMETER
Range
Unit
Description
#
1 - 199
-
Displays the row number in the
transient table. These numbers are
generated automatically.
Ramp
0.2 - 9999
msec.
Ramp time to slew from existing set
point to new set point value. Applies
to both Frequency and Voltage.
If previous set value is the same as
new value, the value is not slewed
but rather stays at the same value for
the duration of the ramp time.
Frequency
16 – 1200
Hz
New frequency value
Voltage AC
0 – 300
V rms
New AC voltage value
Dwell
0.2 - 9999
msec.
Dwell time. At the end of the ramp
time, the new set values remain in
effect during the dwell period. At the
end of the dwell time, the next list
entry (if any) will be executed.
