Transient Test Function
Transient test function enables the load to periodically switch between two set levels
(Level A and Level B). It can be used to test the transient characteristics of the DUT.
Transient operation can only be used in CC mode and supports the following 3
operation modes:
CC continuous mode (Con)
CC pulsed mode (Pul)
CC toggled mode (Tog)
Before performing the transient operation, first set parameters for the transient
operation, such as Level A, Level B, frequency, duty, etc.
CC Continuous Mode (Con)
In continuous operation, when you enable the transient test, the load current will
continuously switch over between Level A and Level B, as shown in Figure 2-14.

Operation Procedures:
1. Connect the DUT and the channel input terminals of the load
Turn off the instrument, as shown in Figure 2-2, connect the DUT and the
channel input terminals on the front panel of the load.
While making a connection, the positive polarity of the load should
be connected to the (+) terminal of the channel output, and the
negative polarity of the load to the (-) terminal of the channel
output. A misconnection with the terminals may cause damage to
the instrument or the DUT.
2. Power on the instrument
After the instrument is connected to the power source, press the Power key
on the front panel to power on the instrument.
