Pulse Width

The pulse width represents the time from the 50% threshold of the
rising edge of the pulse to the 50% threshold of the next falling edge.
• Pulse width: 8 ns to 2000 seconds (see restrictions below). The default
pulse width is 100 µs.
• The specified pulse width must be less than the difference between
the period and the edge time as shown below. The function generator
will automatically adjust the pulse width as needed to accommodate
the specified period.
Pulse Width < Period – (1.6 X Edge Time)
• The pulse width must also be greater than the total time of one edge
as shown below.
Pulse Width > 1.6 X Edge Time
• Front-Panel Operation: After selecting the pulse function, press the
Pulse Width softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter
the desired pulse width.
• Remote Interface Operation:
