See also "Pulse Waveforms" starting on page 64 in chapter 3.
This section describes the low-level commands used to program the
function generator to output a pulse waveform. To select the pulse
function, use the FUNC PULS command (see page 153). Refer to the
diagram below for the command descriptions that follow.

Period
PULSe:PERiod {<seconds>|MINimum|MAXimum}
PULSe:PERiod? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Set the period for pulses. Select a period from 20 ns to 2000 seconds.
The default is 1 ms. MIN = 20 ns. MAX = 2000 seconds. The :PER? query
returns the period of the pulse waveform in seconds.
• The specified period must be greater than the sum of the pulse width
and the edge time as shown below. The function generator will adjust
the pulse width and edge time as needed to accommodate the specified
period. From the remote interface, a "Data out of range" error will be
generated and the period will be adjusted as described.
Period > Pulse Width + (1.6 X Edge Time)
