T(ime) Sets the time, in seconds or cycles, that it will take for the output
current to reach the level set in the A(mpere) field (end Current).
As such, the T(ime) value will define the slew rate of the output
current for the event. A duration of 0.001 seconds will cause the
output current to reach the end current at the maximum slew rate.
A(mpere) Sets the Current, in Ampere, that will be reached after the sweep
or step.
Rep(ea)t Sets the number of times the sweep/step transient event will be
repeated before execution will proceed to the next event or exit
the transient list. The number of times the transient event is
generated is equal to the value, REPEAT+1. The value should
be zero if only one execution of this event in the list is desired.
Func(tion) Selects the waveform to be used during this section of the
transient sequence. Each section could use a different waveform
from the available user-defined waveforms or the three standard
waveforms. The output waveform changes upon entry into each
section and remains in effect for the duration of the section. The
default waveform is always the SINE (sine wave).
Trig(ger) Causes a trigger pulse to be generated for the selected event
when LIST is selected for Trig(ger) Out Source in the SETTINGS
menu.
Delay Sets the time duration, in seconds or cycles that the Current will
stay at the level, A(mpere), before the next transient event is
executed, or the transient list is completed.
Save Completes the transient editing. All data fields should be entered
before saving. The event number is automatically set based on
the selection of either BEFORE or AFTER in the LIST menu and
will be a value between 0 and 99. The event number determines
the order of execution of the transient events in a multiple-event
transient.
Phase Displays the phases that had been selected in the Settings menu.
5.8.6.5 CURRENT SURGE/SAG Sub-Menu
The CURRENT SURGE/SAG menu allows temporarily changing the current during a transient. The output
current will change from its present value to a specified value for a specified duration. After this time
duration has expired, the output current returns to a specified end value. When the transient definition is
complete, tap SAVE to store the transient step settings in non-volatile memory and return to the ADD
menu.
