8.2.1.3 List Transients
List transients provide the most versatile means of controlling the output in a specific manner as they allow
a series of parameters to be programmed in a timed sequence. Figure 8-17 shows a current output
generated from a list. The output shown represents three different AC current steps: 80 amps for
33 milliseconds, 80 amps for 83 ms, and 40 amps for 150 ms, separated by three intervals of zero amps
for 67 ms. The list specifies the pulses as three current points (points 0, 2, and 4), each with its
corresponding dwell points. The intervals are three zero-current points (points 1, 3, and 5) of equal time
duration. The count parameter causes the list to execute twice when started by a single trigger.
Transient list programming is supported through the front panel with the TRANSIENTS menu. Transient
lists can also be programmed through the remote digital interface using SCPI commands or the Sequoia
Virtual Panels GUI; refer to the Sequoia Series Programming Manual M447353-01, refer to AMETEK
PPD website, www.programmablepower.com, to download the latest version.
Figure 8-17: List Transients
To set up this type of transient list through the front panel, proceed as follows:
1. Navigate to the SETTINGS menu of the TRANSIENTS screen; refer to Figure 8-18 and Figure
8-19. Set the parameter values as follows:
Phase: A, B, or C
Time: sec
Curr(ent): A
Trig(ger): All
Step: All
