DROP Causes the output current to go to zero volts for a specified period
of time. As with the step transient, the current change is
instantaneous. At the end of the drop, the current will return to
the beginning of the step.

CURRENT SWEEP/STEP CURRENT SWEEP causes the output current to change from the
present value to a specified end value at a specified rate of
change, while a CURRENT STEP causes an instantaneous
change in output current. The new value will be held for the
specified time duration. The final output current value of a sweep
and a step transient step should be different than the value at the
start of the transient step, or no change in output current will
occur.
Figure 5-134. Current Sweep/Step Settings
CURRENT SURGE/SAG CURRENT SURGE and SAG are temporary changes. The output
current will change from its present value to a specified value for
a specified duration. Surge is a change to a higher value, while
sag is a change to a lower value. After the time duration has
expired, the output current returns to a specified end value. This
value could be the same or different from the value present prior
to the start of the surge or sag.
