4.2.6.3 FREQUENCY SWEEP/STEP sub menu
The Voltage sweep and step screen shown in Figure 4-14 can be reached from the transient
screen as follows:
1. Scroll to the FREQ SWEEP/STEP entry using the up and down cursor keys.
2. Press the ENTER key to bring up the FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen.
The FREQ SWEEP/STEP screen has several data fields. All data fields that are blank to the
right of the equal sign must be filled or an error message will occu
screen. The EVENT # is the last data field to be filled. Entering the event data field will cause the
display to ret urn to the TRANSIE

n has the following fields:
Duration is amount of the time the output frequency wil
reach the END FREQ level. Duration will define the sle
the output frequency for the event. A duration of 0 seconds will
cause the output frequency to reach the end frequency
imme diately.
This is the output frequency at the end of the transient event i
Hz.
This is the time delay the frequency will stay at END FREQ
before it proceeds with the next transient event or completes
the transient.
[3Pi Controller only] This field can be used to select the wave
shape to be used during this step of the transient sequence.
Each step can use a different wave shape from the available
library of 50 user-defined waveforms or the three standard
waveforms. The output wave shape changes upon entry into
each step and remains in effect for the duration of the step. The
default wave shape is always the SINE (sine wave).
This is the number of times the FREQUENCY SWEEP/STEP
transient will repeat before it will proceed to the next event or
exit the transient. The number of times the transient event is
generated is equal to the REPEAT + 1. Leave this value at zero
if only one execution of this event in the list is required.
This must be the last item in the transient edit screen. All data
fields must be entered before inserting the EVENT #. The
EVENT # takes value from 1 to 99. The EVENT # defines the
order of execution of the transient events in a multiple event
transient. It is a good practice to enter spaced EVENT #'s to
allow insertion of an EVENT later if needed. (For example,
space them by 5.) Entry of a sequence EVENT # number will
cause the display to return to the TRANSIENT screen.
