	In order to understand properly the ECR heating and hot electron generation time evolution, measurements of ECRIS bremsstrahlung in radial direction using pulsed RF power with JYFL 14 GHz ECRIS have been performed. The effects of RF power, plasma species, neutral gas pressure and axial magnetic field strength were studied. So-called "preglow effect" for different charge states was studied in conjunction with the bremsstrahlung measurements. An analysis code that combines the bremsstrahlung data i.e. energy and time of incidence from consecutive RF pulses has been written. This method ensures that enough statistics is used for interpretation of the results. Pile-ups, ADC overflows and such disturbances are removed from the Ge detector spectra by using digital signal processing unit. In this paper the time evolution of the electron population with energies over 15 keV in millisecond region time intervals will be presented and the time scale of the preglow effect is connected into the development of the electron energy distribution.
