4.7.8 Transient Execution
Figure 4-46: START/VIEW TRANSIENT SEQUENCE Menu
A transient list can be executed from the START/VIEW TRANSIENT SEQUENCE
menu. To start a transient list, position the cursor on the START field as shown
in Figure 4-46 and press the ENTER key. Transients may be aborted by pressing
the ENTER key again while on the same field as the field changes to ABORT
while a transient execution is in progress. For short duration transients, this will
likely not be visible, as the transient will complete before the screen is updated.
Longer duration transients however may be aborted in this fashion.
Longer duration transients may also be suspended using the PAUSE field located
below the START/ABORT field. Pressing the ENTER key while on the PAUSE field
will suspend the transient execution. Once suspended, it can be resumed using
the same field as the field changes to RESUME while the transient execution is
suspended. Suspending a transient may be useful when running slowly changing
output transients to ‘hold’ the output at a specific setting while observing the
effect on the unit under test.
