Pulsed transient operation generates a load change that returns to its original state after
some time period. It is similar to continuous operation with the following exceptions:
a. To get a pulse, an explicit trigger is required. To specify the trigger source, use
TRIGger:SOURce. See "Triggering Transients".
b. One pulse results from each trigger. Therefore, frequency cannot be programmed.
MODe:CURRent ; the CC mode is active
TRIGger:SOURce BUS ; a trigger signal is connected to the GPIB's trigger
input

Toggled transient operation causes the module input to alternate between two
pre-defined levels as in continuous operation except that the transient transitions are
controlled by explicit triggers instead of the internal transient generator. See "Triggering
Transients". Use the following commands to program toggled transients:
MODE CURRent or MODe:CURRent
TRIGger:SOURce BUS
TRANsient:MODE TOGGle
CURRent 5
CURRent:TLEVel 10
INPut ON
