TRAN[:STATe] Channel-Specific Transient Command/Query
Description
STATe is an implied keyword that enables or disables the Transient Subsystem. When the
subsystem is disabled, TLEVel inputs cannot occur. However, they may be programmed
while the subsystem is disabled and will take effect when the subsystem is enabled. The
enable or disable state may be programmed with either characters or equivalent numerics.

TRAN:TWIDth Channel-Specific Transient Command/Query
Description
TWIDth specifies the duration of TLEVel during the PULSe mode. If specified when the
electronic load is in the CONTinuous or TOGGle mode, TWIDth is stored until the next
use of PULSe mode. If a value is entered outside the specified parameters, an error is
generated (See Table 4-2 at the end of this chapter).
Command Syntax
TRANsient:TWIDth <NRf+>
Parameters
See Table 4-1 and the Operating Manual of the electronic load model.
Examples
TRAN: TWID 5E-5 Set Transient Generator pulse duration to 50
microseconds.
TRAN:STAT l;MODE PULS;TWID .500 Enable Transient Generator function, set
mode to pulse, and program pulse width to
500 milliseconds.
Query Syntax
TRAN:TWID? TRAN:TWID? MAX TRAN:TWID? MIN
Returned Parameters
<NR3> TRAN:TWID? returns value representing duration of TLEV in seconds.
TRAN:TWID? MAX and TRAN:TWID? MIN return the maximum and minimum
programmable duration values.
