Figure 5-7. Toggled Transient Operation

	Action	Display
1.	On the Function keypad, press Current. On the Entry keypad, press 5 Enter .	CURR 5
2.	On the Function keypad, press Current. On the Function keypad, press • key until	C:TLEV
	transient current is displayed.
3.	On the Entry keypad press 10 Enter.	C:TLEV 10
6.	On the Function keypad, press Tran. On the Function keypad, press • key until	T:MODE
	transient mode is displayed.
7.	To select the pulse mode, press the •Input or ‚ Input key until the Toggle mode	T:MODE TOGG
	is displayed. Then press Enter.
8.	On the Function keypad, press the Tran key and select ON to activate the transient	TRAN ON
	mode.
9.	On the Function keypad, press Trigger Control, then press Enter. This initiates	INIT:IMMED
	the trigger system.

10Press Shift and Trigger. This switches to the toggled level. Each time a trigger is sent, the input switches to the alternate level.

NOTE: The difference between programming a toggled level (C:TLEV) and a triggered level (C:TRIG), is that a toggled level allows you to switch back and forth between the main (or immediate) level and the toggled level. A triggered level, on the other hand, becomes the main level once it is triggered. Subsequent triggers have no effect on the input level.

4 - Programming Lists

Lists are the most flexible means of generating complex input sequences. The following figure shows a current input sequence generated from a list. The input current shown represents three different current pulses (8 A for 2 seconds, 6 A for 5 seconds, and 4 A for 7 seconds) separated by 3-second, 0-ampere intervals.

The list specifies the pulses as three current points (point 0, 2, and 4), each with its corresponding dwell point. The intervals are three zero-current 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 Recall Menu, execute the *RST command to reset the load module. This is necessary because any previously programmed functions remain in effect until cleared.

1.	Press Current to access the Current Menu. Then press ‚ to access the current mode	C:MODE FIXED
	command.
2.	On the Entry keypad, press •Input or ‚Input to scroll through the mode parameters	C:MODE LIST

3.	Access the List Menu by pressing Shift List. Press ‚ to scroll to the count command.	LST:CNT 2
	From the Entry keypad, change the list count from the default (1) to 2. Press Enter.
