Program an Output Pulse or Pulse Train
50
The following procedure shows how to generate an output pulse train
using the List function.
Trigger
0 1
Pulse width
Step 1. Set the voltage or current function for which you want to generate a
pulse to List mode. This example programs a voltage pulse.
Front Panel:
Select Transient\Volt\Mode.
Scroll to List and press Select.
Step 2. Set the amplitude and width of the pulse. For example, to generate a
pulse with an amplitude of 15 V and a pulse width of 1 second, use:
Front Panel:
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select List Step 0 and enter a
voltage value of 15. Press Select.
Enter a dwell value of 1 for List
Step 0 and Press Select.
Step 3. Set the list pacing to Auto, so that as each dwell time elapses, the
next step is immediately output.
Front Panel:
Select Transient\List\Pace.
Select Dwell and press Select.
If you only wish to program a single pulse, skip steps 4 and 5 and
go to step 6.
Step 4. If you want to generate a pulse train, you must specify the off time
between pulses. To do this you must program another step. For a
voltage list, you must specify an amplitude and an off time. For
example, to program an off time of 2 seconds with an amplitude of 0
V between pulses, use:
Front Panel:
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select List Step 1 and enter a
voltage value of 0. Press Select.
Enter a dwell value of 2 for List
Step 1 and Press Select.
