the fault and the disabling of the output, scroll to the
delay command on the protection menu. The default
delay is 100 milliseconds

4.6.4 Using Transient Voltage Modes
The voltage can be programmed in the following transient operating modes:
STEP
causes the output to permanently change to its triggered value.
PULSE
causes the output to change to its triggered value for a specific time,
as determined by the Pulse menu parameters.
LIST
causes the output to sequence through a number of values, as
determined by points entered in the List menu.
FIXED
disables transient operation for the selected function.
4.6.5 Step Transient
The Voltage Menu lets you specify an alternate or triggered voltage level that the AC
source will apply to the output when it receives a trigger. Because the default
transient voltage level is zero volts, you must first enter a triggered voltage before
you can trigger the AC source to change the output amplitude. Refer to chapter 4 of
the SCPI Programming Manual for more information about programming triggers.
In the following example, the voltage output is set to 120 Vrms and then stepped
down to 102 Vrms.
