5.6.6 Transients Screen
The Sequoia/Tahoe Series power source provides the capability of generating custom waveforms by
programming the output in a sequence of steps in a list of transients. The steps could be comprised of
combinations of changes in voltage, frequency, phase angle, waveform, and duration. The list could be
created, run, and stored through either the front panel or the remote digital interface using the
Sequoia/Tahoe Virtual Panels GUI program or SCPI commands. A library of lists could be produced and
stored in the memory of the power source for quick recall and utilization through the use of SCPI commands
(refer to the Sequoia Series Programming Manual P/N M447353-01 and Tahoe Series Programming
Manual P/N M447354-01) or the Sequoia/Tahoe Virtual Panels GUI; refer to AMETEK PPD website,
www.programmablepower.com, to download the latest version.
The TRANSIENTS Screen provides access to the transient list data. A transient list of up to 100 data
points is possible, represented by 100 transient step numbers from 0 through 99.
The top-level menu of the TRANSIENTS screen is shown in Figure 5-27. It can be reached in one of two
ways:
1. Tapping TRANSIENTS on the HOME Screen of the front panel touch-screen.
2. Scrolling to TRANSIENTS with the encoder and depressing the encoder switch.
The UP arrow button will return to the previously selected screen menu (in this case the HOME Screen).
The HOME button will return to the HOME screen that has the top-level menu for the sub-menu being
displayed; that is HOME Screen for the TRANSIENTS screen top-level menu.
Figure 5-27. TRANSIENTS Screen Top-Level Menu
The following menus are available in the TRANSIENTS top-level menu: SETTINGS, VIEW, RUN.
The SETTINGS menu allows the selection of how parameter values are entered for time, voltage, and
frequency, trigger sources and characteristics, and how a list is executed; refer to Figure 5-28.
