4.12.1.13 Pulse Hold
This command is used to determine whether the width or the duty cycle are to be held constant when
the period is changed. The duty cycle is termed to be ON when changes in the period cause changes in
the width, such that the duty cycle remains constant. This state is achieved by specifying the DCYCle
parameter in the HOLD command. The duty cycle is set OFF by specifying the WIDTH parameter, and
then changes in the period will not affect the width. When setting the duty cycle OFF, the last value is
remembered, which is the value the duty cycle takes when it is next set ON.

4.12.1.14 External Width
This command is used to enable or disable the external width function. When enabled (ON), this
function causes an externally applied pulse to be generated with the same width, but with transition
times and output levels as specified by the instrument. When the external width is enabled, the pulse
parameter period, width, delay and duty cycle may not be specified. Doing so will cause error 221 to be
returned. Also, the double pulse mode may not be enabled while the external width is enabled.

4.12.1.15 Double Pulse State
This command is used to enable or disable the double pulse mode. In this mode, two pulses are
generated per period. The first pulse is generated at the time of the signal trigger, and the second pulse
