Measuring Pulsed Signals

The power meter can be used to measure the power of a pulsed signal.
The measurement result is a mathematical representation of the pulse
power rather than an actual measurement (assumes constant peak power).
The power meter measures the average power of the pulsed input signal
and then divides the measurement result by the duty cycle value to obtain
the pulse power reading. The allowable range of values is 0.001% to 100%.
The default value is 1.000%.
If duty cycle is enabled, then Dty Cyc is displayed.
Pulse measurements are not recommended using Agilent E4412A and E4413A
