Model 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer Reference Manual
The output trigger levels are not shown in the waveform previewers.
The following instructions describe how to use KPulse for a standard pulse output. Repeat these
steps for any installed cards that you want to set to standard pulse.
To set waveform, trigger, output, and general settings:
1. Select the pulse card tab (in this example, PMU1).
2. For the Waveform Type, select Segment Arb.
3. For the Trigger Source, select External.
4. Select the Trigger Source type - Per Pulse Rising, Initial Falling, Initial Rising, or Per Pulse
Falling.
5. For the Output Mode, select Continuous Mode or Burst Mode.
6. Under General Settings, set the Pulse Period in seconds.
7. Set the Trigger Polarity to Positive or Negative.
8. Select how to apply the changes by doing one of the following:

Select Apply Changes Immediately to enable automatic update for pulse output. After the
outputs are turned on, the pulse output updates immediately when the settings are changed.

Select Apply Settings (the button with the light blue arrow) to manually apply settings.
Select Reset All to return the pulse card to the Standard Pulse waveform type and its default
settings. It also updates the previewer.
To configure the Channel 1 and Channel 2 settings:
1. Configure the channel settings as needed. Note that the Pulse Count field is only available if the
Output Mode is set to Burst Mode.
2. At the bottom of the window, select Enable Channel 1 or Enable Channel 2. A channel must be
enabled to preview its waveform and turn on the output for the channel.
3. Select Edit Segarb.
4. For each segment, enter the Start voltage, Stop voltage, Time in seconds, the TTL output Trig
level (0 = low; 1 = high), and the state of the SSR (solid-state relay, 0 = open, 1 = closed).
5. Select OK.
6. Select the Output On button to turn on all enabled channels for all pulse cards installed on the
4200A-SCS. Output Off turns red.
7. To turn off the output, select Output Off.
