4.7.5 List Transients
List transients provide the most versatile means of controlling the output in a
specific manner as they allow a series of parameters to be programmed in a
timed sequence. The following figure shows a voltage output generated from a
list. The output shown represents three different AC voltage pulses (160 volts
for 33 milliseconds, 120 volts for 83 milliseconds, and 80 volts for 150
milliseconds) separated by 67 milliseconds, zero-volt intervals.
Transient list programming is supported from the front panel and may be
accessed by selecting the TRANSIENTS entry in the MENU 1 screen. Transient
lists can also be programmed over the bus. Refer to the SCPI Programming
Manual for more information about programming List transients and triggers
over the bus.
Figure 4-44: List Transients
The list specifies the pulses as three voltage points (point 0, 2, and 4), each
with its corresponding dwell point. The intervals are three zero-voltage points
(point 1, 3, and 5) of equal intervals. The count parameter causes the list to
execute twice when started by a single trigger.
To set up this type of transient list, proceed as follows:
1) Press the PROG key to bring up the PROGRAM 1 menu.
2) Move the cursor to the VOLTAGE field and enter 0 Volt. Press
ENTER to confirm your setting.
3) Make sure you are in the HIGH voltage range as we will
program a surge to 160 V rms. The low range would only allow
150 V rms.
