Half Cycle
4-30
The Half Cycle panel contains controls that select the half cycle
functions and adjust the half cycle parameters.
The half cycle functions are generated with variable and
controllable delay between the halves. If triggered mode, one half
at a time is generated as a result of a trigger signal regardless of
the programmed delay value. The half cycle functions have
different limitations compared to the standard functions; These are
listed in Appendix A. The half cycle panel and the various
parameters that control these functions are described below.

Shared
The shared group has parameters that are shared by all channels.
The shared parameters are: Frequency, Delay and the half cycle
state. Note that the frequency value is a bit different than the
standard frequency parameter because it describes the frequency
as if the two halves were combined (which is never the case). Since
two halves are always separated by certain delay, the frequency
value has a meaning as if the two halves were combined.
Half Cycle
The Half Cycle group has controls that select the shape of the
function and for programming the amplitude, offset, start phase and
duty cycle. Since each channel can have an independent set of
such parameters, they were separated into two groups.
Channel
The channel group defines which of the channels is currently being
programmed. Since all four channels have the same controls, it
