4.7.9 Saving Transient List Programs
When the AC source is turned off, the transient list that was programmed is not automatically retained.
Thus, if you turn the unit off, you will loose your programmed transient list. However, transient
programs may be saved in nonvolatile memory for later recall. This allows multiple transient list
programs to be recalled quickly without the need to enter all parameters each time. Transient lists are
stored as part of the overall instrument front panel setup in any of the available setup registers.
To save the transient list you created in the previous example, proceed as follows:
1. Press the Menu key repeatedly until the REGISTERS / CONFIGURATION menu is displayed.
2. Move the cursor to the REGISTERS entry and press the ENTER key.
3. The cursor will default to the SAVE REGISTER # position. Enter a number from 1 through 15 and
press the ENTER key. DO NOT USE REGISTER 0 (REG0) as it is reserved for power-on setting
recall and does not include a transient list.
4. A message will appear indicating that the front panel settings and the transient list data have been
saved in the setup register you selected.
4.8 Setting the Power-on Initialization Values
The power source is shipped with default factory settings when the unit is powered up. The factory
settings are:
Parameter Factory default setting
Voltage 0.0 Volt
Voltage Range 150 Volt Range
Frequency 60 Hz
Current limit Maximum available current for selected V Range.
Output state OFF
Local / Remote State Local. Front panel unlocked.
Table 4-3: Factory Default Power on Settings
It is possible to change the power on initialization values in one of two ways:
1. Using the IEEE-488, LAN or USB bus interface.
2. Using the front panel.
To change the power on initialization values from the front panel, proceed as follows:
1. Set the AC power source output parameters from the front panel as you want to power up the
unit.
2. Save this setting to setup register 0 from the REGISTERS menu.
3. Select the CONFIGURATION menu and move to the POWER ON field.
4. Change the POWER ON field to REG0.
5. This will recall the settings contained in register 0 at power up.
