Action
1. Press Voltage to access the Voltage Menu. On the Entry keypad, press 1 0 2 Enter.
Press ô to access the triggered voltage command. On the Entry keypad, press 1 2 0
2.
Enter.
Access the Voltage Menu again and press ô to access the voltage mode command. On
3.
the Entry keypad, press ¯ or ° to scroll through the mode parameters to obtain
PULSE and press Enter.
4. Press Pulse to access the Pulse Menu. From the Entry keypad, press
. 0 8 3 3 Enter to enter a pulse width of 83.3 milliseconds.
Access the Pulse Menu and press ô to access the duty cycle command. From the Entry
5.
keypad, press 3 3 Enter to change the duty cycle to 33%.
Access the Pulse Menu and press ô to access the pulse count. On the Entry keypad,
6.
press 4 and Enter.
7. Press Trigger Control and Enter to initiate the transient trigger sequence.
8. Press Shift Trigger. This sends the ac source an immediate trigger signal to generate
the four output pulses.
Note: The ac source output returns to 102 V at the completion of the output pulses.
List Transient
Lists are the most flexible means of generating multiple or synchronized transient outputs. The following
figure shows a voltage output generated from a list. The output shown represents three different ac
voltage pulses (160 volts for 33 milliseconds, 120 volts for 83 milliseconds, and 80 volts for 150
milliseconds) separated by 67-millisecond, 0-volt intervals.
The list specifies the pulses as three voltage points (point 0, 2, and 4), each with its corresponding dwell
point. The intervals are three zero-voltage points (point 1, 3, and 5) of equal intervals. The count
parameter causes the list to execute twice when started by a single trigger.
NOTE:
From the Output Menu, execute the *RST command to reset the ac source. This is
necessary because any previously programmed functions remain in effect until cleared.
