TRAN:DCYCle Channel-Specific Transient Command/Query
Description
DCYCle specifies the duty cycle of TLEV, as a percent of the total cycle, when the
electronic load is in the CONTinuous mode. If programmed when the electronic load is in
the PULSe or TOGGle mode, DCYCle is stored until the next time the electronic load is
in CONTinuous mode. If a value is specified outside the parameter limits, an error is
generated (See Table 4-2 at the end of this chapter) .
Command Syntax
TRANsient:DCYCle <NRf+>
Parameters
See Table 4-1 and the Operating Manual of the electronic load model.
Examples
TRAN: DCYC 10 Set Continuos output to TLEVel for 10% of the cycle.
TRAN: MODE CONT; FREQ 500; DCYC 10; STAT 1 Set Transient Generator to
continuous mode, 500 Hz at 10%
duty cycle and enable the generator.
Query Syntax
TRAN:DCYC? TRAN:DCYC? MAX TRAN:DCYC? MIN
Returned Parameters
<NR3> TRAN:DCYC? returns present value of Continuous Mode duty
cycle in percent.
TRAN:DCYC? MAX and TRAN:DCYC? MIN return the
maximum and minimum programmable duty cycle values.

TRAN:FREQ
TRAN:FREQuency Channel-Specific Transient Command/Query
Description
FREQuency specifies the pulse frequency of the CONTinous mode. If specified in a
PULSe or TOGGle mode, FREQuency will be stored for the next time the electronic load
is in the CONTinuous mode. If a value is specified outside the parameter limits, an error is
generated (See Table 4-2 at the end of this chapter).
Command Syntax
TRANsient:FREQuency <NRf+>
Parameters
See Table 4-1 and the Operating Manual of the electronic load model.
Examples
TRAN:FREQ 100 Set Transient Generator frequency to 100 Hz.
TRAN:FREQ 10 KHZ Set Transient Generator frequency to 10 kHz.
TRAN:MODE CONT;FREQ 560;DCYC 50;STAT 1 Set Transient Generator to
continuous mode, frequency to 560
Hz, duty cycle to 50% and enable
the generator.
TRAN: STAT OFF; FREQ 2E4; STAT ON Turn off Transient Generator change
frequency to 20 kHz, and turn generator on.
