At iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences (iThemba LABS) a copy of the so-called Grenoble Test Source (GTS) for the production of highly charged ions is installed. The source in combination with the K-200 cyclotron delivers high energy, high intensity beams for nuclear physics experiments.

In this talk we present experiments with the GTS2 for Argon beams at iThemba LABS, in which the results of CW, pulsed and afterglow operation for different bias disc position and different supporting gases are compared.
