Enable the output transient functionFirst, you must enable the output to respond to transient triggers. Unless an output transient functionenabled, nothing will happen even if you have programmed the transient parameters and generated atransient trigger.Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI CommandSelect Transient\Mode.If you are operating in voltage priority mode selectVoltage mode. If you are operating in current prioritymode select Current mode.In the dropdown list, select Step, List or Arb transients.Then press Select.To enable the transient function, use:VOLT:MODE STEPVOLT:MODE LISTVOLT:MODE ARBorCURR:MODE STEPCURR:MODE LISTCURR:MODE ARBIn Step mode, the triggered value becomes the immediate value when the trigger isreceived. In Fixed mode, trigger signals are ignored; the immediate values remain ineffect when a trigger is received.Program the transient parametersFor example, set the triggered voltage level if you are programming a voltage step:Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI CommandSelect Transient\Step.Select the Trig Voltage box to set the voltage. Enter avalue and press Select.To set a voltage step level of 15 V use:VOLT:TRIG 15Select the trigger sourceA TRIGger:TRANsient[:IMMediate] command over the bus will always generate animmediate transient trigger, regardless of the selected trigger source.Unless you are using the front panel menu or a TRIGger:TRANsient[:IMMediate] command to triggerthe transient, select a trigger source from the following:Trigger Source DescriptionBus Selects GPIB device trigger, *TRG, or (Group Execute Trigger).EXPRession<1-8> Selects one of eight user-defined expressions. See Defining Signal Expressions.External Selects ANY pin that is configured as a Trigger Input on the digital control port.Immediate Triggers the transient as soon as it is INITiated.Pin<1-7> Selects a specific pin that is configured as a Trigger Input on the digital control port.Use the following commands to select a trigger source:4 Using the Advanced Power System118 Keysight N6900/N7900 Series Operating and Service Guide
