Pulsed Transient Operation Example

This example selects channel 1, sets the CR levels, selects the bus as the trigger source, sets the fastest slew rate, programs a pulse width of 1 millisecond, and turns on transient operation. When the *TRG command is received, a 1 millisecond pulse is generated at the channel 1 input.

210 END

Line 10: Selects channel 1 and turns the input off.

Line 20: Selects the CR mode.

Line 30: Selects the high resistance range and sets the main resistance level to 100 ohms.

Line 40: Sets the transient resistance level to 50 ohms. Remember in the high resistance range, the transient resistance level must be set to a lower level than the main resistance level.

Line 50: Selects the GPIB as the trigger source.

Line 60: Sets the CC slew rate to the maximum value. Remember that in the high resistance range, the CC slew rate is used.

Line 70: Selects pulsed transient operation and sets the pulse width to 1 millisecond.

Line 80: Turns on the transient generator and the input.

Other commands are executed

Line 200: The *TRG command generates a 1 millisecond pulse at the channel 1 input.

Synchronous Toggled Transient Operation Example

This example programs channels 1 and 2 to generate synchronous transient waveforms. Each channel is set up to operate in the CV mode with toggled transient operation turned on. The Multiple Electronic Load’s internal trigger oscillator is set up to produce trigger pulses at a frequency of 2 kHz in order to generate synchronous waveforms at the channel 1 and channel 2 inputs.
