An event is detected as the presence, during any single cycle of the mains voltage wave-
form, of a frequency component at 10 to 100 kHz with 50 Vrms (±70.7 Vpeak equivalent) or
greater amplitude in either the positive or negative direction on any of the three channels.

What is a transient?
On this instrument, a "transient overvoltage" is also called a "transient".
Transient overvoltage is sometimes also called an "excessive voltage spike" or "Impulsive voltage".
Only the existence or non-existence of transient overvoltage is detected.
Although voltage and current waveforms can be displayed when an event is
detected, the transient overvoltage waveform cannot be displayed.
