PROGRAMMING YOUR PULSE GENERATOR
KEY PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
The "OP1B Interface Programming Manual" describes in detail how to connect the
pulse generator to your computer, and the programming commands themselves. A
large number of commands are available; however, normally you will only need a few of
these. Here is a basic sample sequence of commands that might be sent to the
instrument after power-up:
*rst (resets the instrument)
trigger:source internal (selects internal triggering)
frequency 1000 Hz (sets the frequency to 1000 Hz)
pulse-width 10 us (sets the pulse width to 10 us)
pulse:delay 1 us (sets the delay to 1 us)
output:impedance 2 (sets the output impedance to 2. The only other allowed
setting is output:impedance 50.)
volt 50 (sets the amplitude to 50 V)
output on (turns on the output)
These commands will satisfy 90% of your programming needs.
ALL PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
For more advanced programmers, a complete list of the available commands is given
below. These commands are described in detail in the "OP1B Interface Programming
Manual". (Note: this manual also includes some commands that are not implemented in
this instrument. They can be ignored.)
