Claim Text:
1. A method for triggering a resonant charging circuit for a device for generating short-wavelength radiation based on a pulsed discharge plasma, the method comprising: determining switching times of the resonant charging circuit in a non-time-critical method segment (I) by simulation; storing values of the switching times to be repeatedly retrievable; determining measurement values of the resonant charging circuit in real time in a time-critical method segment; determining at least one second switching time (t triggering the resonant charging circuit; further comprising the following steps in the non-time-critical method segment (I): A1) providing input values; B1) simulating values comprising at least one firing time (t C1) forming an input matrix from all of the combinations of input values and the respective simulated values; D1) converting the input matrix and forming switching times (t E1) determining a relationship between the converted input matrix and the result matrix and retrievably storing the mathematical relationship in the form of a coefficient matrix.
