7.5 Downloading transient registers

Once all relevant transient information has been entered in the data
fields, the contents of all registers can be downloaded to the L-Series unit.
This is accomplished by clicking on the
right hand side of the transient screen. If an L-Series is connected to the PC,
the contents for all registers with a transient type other than Empty will be
transferred to the instrument. Before downloading occurs however, error
checks are performed on all parameters to ensure no invalid data is
transferred. This may result in error messages that could not be detected
earlier. This is especially true for errors in the link field. (see section 7.3).
If the
LSGUI is in
simulation
mode,
transfer to the
instrument
can not be
achieved.
Instead, a
window listing
all program
statements
that would be
sent to a real
unit is
displayed.
This can be a
useful feature
when
troubleshootin
g transient programs or when the user wants to analyze the actual step and
delay values generated by the LSGUI program for each transient.
This window will be shown until the
transient window itself is closed.
Uploading of transient registers from the L-Series to the PC is not
supported by the LSGUI program. To view the contents of a transient register
in the L-Series, proceed to the IEEE Settings screen and use the command
line. The TLK REG command can be found in the pull down list. (Refer to
section 5.3).
