Programming Output Transients
Output transients are used to:
– Synchronize output changes with a particular phase of the voltage waveform.
– Synchronize output changes with internal or external trigger signals.
– Simulate surge, sag, and dropout conditions with precise control of duration
and phase.
– Create complex, multi-level sequences of output changes.
– Create output changes that have rapid or precise timing requirements.
The following ac source functions are subject to transient control:
AC output voltage
Frequency
Phase
Waveform shape
AC voltage slew rate
Frequency slew rate
DC output voltage
Peak current limit
The following transient modes can be generated:
STEP
Generates a single triggered output change.
PULSe
Generates an output change which returns to its original state after
some time period.
LIST
Generates a sequence of output changes, each with an associated
dwell time or paced by triggers.
FIXed
Turns off the transient functions, which means that only the IMMediate
values are used as the data source for a particular function.
