Figure 4-14: VOLTAGE SWEEP/STEP SETUP Screen 
The Voltage sweep and step screen shown in Figure 4-14 can be reached from 
the transient screen as follows: 
1)  Scroll to the VOLT SWEEP/STEP entry using the up and down 
keys. 
2)  Press the ENTER key to bring up the VOLTAGE SWEEP/STEP 
screen. 
The VOLTAGE SWEEP/STEP screen has several data fields. All data fields that 
are blank to the right of the equal sign must be filled or an error message will 
occur when trying to leave this screen. The EVENT # is the last data field to be 
filled. Entering the event data field will cause the display to return to the 
TRANSIENT screen where a new selection can be made. 
The VOLTAGE SWEEP/STEP screen has the following fields: 
START  This field will show the start phase angle of the voltage 
transient in degrees. Only one start phase angle per 
transient sequence is allowed. The start phase angle 
must be in the first transient event in the list. The start 
phase angle is not valid for DC transient. 
END VOLT  This is the output voltage level at the end of the 
transient event in volts. 
DUR SCALE  Duration scale default is time in seconds. Use the 
Shuttle knob to select CYCLES if desired. Note that 
durations expressed in cycles may cause rounding 
errors if the period of the selected frequency setting is 
not an integer number of mss. Thus, for 50 Hz 
applications, no rounding errors occur but for 60 Hz, 
the 16.66¯  ms period will cause a rounding error when 
converted. The Duration scale selection affects both the 
DURATION and END DELAY parameters.
