synchronization may get lost due to timing skew between the waveform generator and the
transient state machine.

4.7.8 Transient Execution
Figure 4-14: TRANSIENT Menu
A transient list can be executed from the TRANSIENT menu. To start a transient list, position the
cursor on the TRAN ST field as shown in Figure 4-14 and press the ENTER key. Transients may
be aborted by pressing the ENTER key again while on the same field as the field changes to
ABORT while a transient execution is in progress. For short duration transients, this will likely not
be visible, as the transient will complete before the screen is updated. Longer duration transients
however may be aborted in this fashion.
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.
