DURATION Duration is the time it will take for the output voltage to
reach the END VOLT level. As such, “Duration” will
define the slew rate of the output voltage for the event.
A duration of 0 seconds will cause the output voltage to
reach the end voltage immediately. The DUR SCALE
defines the time parameter CYCLES or SECONDS
END DELAY This is the time delay the voltage level will stay at END
VOLT before it proceeds with the next transient event
or completes the transient.
FUNCTION [3Pi controller only] This field can be used to select the
wave shape to be used during this step of the transient
sequence. Each step can use a different wave shape
from the available library of 50 user-defined waveforms
or the three standard waveforms. The output wave
shape changes upon entry into each step and remains
in effect for the duration of the step. The default wave
shape is always the SINE (sine wave).
REPEAT This is the number of times the VOLTAGE SWEEP/STEP
transient event will repeat before it proceeds to the
next event or exit the transient program. Note that the
number of times the transient event is generated is
equal to the REPEAT + 1. Leave this value at zero if
only one execution of this event in the list is required.
EVENT # This must be the last item in the transient edit screen.
All data fields must be entered before inserting the
EVENT #. The EVENT # takes a value from 1 to 99. The
EVENT # defines the order of execution of the transient
events in a multiple event transient. It is a good
practice to enter spaced EVENT #’s to allow insertion of
an EVENT later if needed. (For example, space them by
5.) Entry of a sequence EVENT # number will cause the
display to return to the TRANSIENT screen.
