6.6.3
Transient Execution Modes
Transients can be executed as soon as they have been entered. To execute a transient, the
output must be ON. Sometimes it is best to debug a new transient sequence to make sure it
performs the intended test and all values were entered correctly. To do so, the DEBUG
mode is provided.
DEBUG MODE
The debug mode can be selected from the TRANSIENT VIEW screen by pressing the “Debug
Mode” soft key (SK4). This changes the TRANSIENT VIEW screen from EDIT to DEBUG mode
and displays a different set of soft keys to control execution.
