8.3.1 Pulse Modulation

The PULSE mode set button gives the user access to the pulse control panel. This allows for
setting external pulse modulation, internal pulse modulation, or internal pulse modulation with
trigger. Additional settings related to internal pulse modulation include: the pulse repetition rate, the
pulse width, and the number of pulses.
REPETITION RATE: The pulse rep rate allows the user to set the time between rising
edges of a pulse. This setting does not apply when using external pulse modulation.
WIDTH: The pulse width allows the user to set the time interval between the leading edge
and trailing edge of a pulse. This setting does not apply when using external pulse
modulation.
NUMBER OF PULSES: The number of pulses allows the user to specify the number of
output pulses. This setting only applies when using internal pulse modulation with trigger.
A trigger signal at the modulation input port will start the output pulsing and the counter to
track the number of pulses.
