Select Transient\List\Config.
Select the List Step number and enter a voltage value.
Press Select.
Repeat this for each step. Use the numeric up/down
arrows to select the next step.
Program the dwell times
Example 1 If you are programming a voltage pulse, set the dwell time of the pulse width. Also specify
the dwell of the off time. This is necessary if you are generating a pulse train, since the off time
determines the time between pulses. To generate a pulse with a pulse width of one second and an off
time of two seconds, use:
Front Panel Menu Reference
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select List Step 0 (the pulse) and enter a dwell value of
1. Press Select.
Select List Step 1 (the off time) and enter a dwell value
of 2. Press Select. Use the numeric up/down arrows to
select the next step.
You have now configured a single pulse. If you wish to generate a pulse train, simply specify the
number of pulse repetitions as described under "Specify How Many Times the List Repeats".
Example 2 If you are programming a voltage list, specify the amplitudes for the list. The dwell values
determine the time interval, in seconds, that the output remains at each step in the list before it
advances to the next step. To specify six dwell intervals with following values: 2, 3, 5, 3, 7, 3:
Front Panel Menu Reference
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select the List Step number and enter a dwell value.
Press Select.
Repeat this for each step. Use the numeric up/down
arrows to select the next step.
The number of dwell steps must equal the number of voltage steps. If a dwell list has
only one value, that value will be applied to all steps in the list.
