Transient Entry Modes

The AFX Series® supports two types of transient entry modes:
•
STEP Mode
•
SEGMENT Mode
Step mode is commonly used on AC and DC power sources that support the SCPI command
language as the SCPI standard defines a LIST, STEP and PULSE command syntax.
Segment mode is used on all Pacific Power sources with UPC controllers such as ASX and
AMX Series. Both modes support the same capabilities however.
Note that in STEP mode, two segment mode entries are combined so each STEP mode entry
requires two SEGMENT entries. The two transient examples below represent the same
transient display in either mode.
