Adding a Pulse
You may add a new pulse to a channel by pressing the SEL key when the cursor points
to either the ON or the OFF edge.
The display will change to show blank ON and OFF edges; the cursor will point to the
ON edge. Enter the ON edge through the numeric keypad, and then press the ENT key
or the right cursor to move to the OFF edge. Enter the OFF edge through the numeric
keypad and then press the ENT key.
Adding Multiple Pulses
If ON and OFF edges for a pulse are visible on the screen and you press SEL to
program a new pulse, the original pulse will remain in the output channel. If the ON or
OFF edges entered overlap an existing pulse in the channel, you will see an “Error:
Pulse Overlap” message. To abort entering a pulse at any time, press ESC.
