7.3.3

Channel Menu in Duty Cycle Mode

The Duty Cycle Mode Channel page includes additional parameters to set the number of On pulses and the
number of Off pulses.

7.3.4

Channel Page Sub-Menus

When in the Channel Menu page the soft key sub-menu options will change. The left most soft key allows the
user to select the particular channel to be displayed. The next soft key is a function key that toggles the display
between the Output page and the Channel page (it will not bring up a sub menu). The third soft key is used to set
the Channel Mode (Normal, Single Shot, Burst, or Duty Cycle).

7.3.5

Sync Menu

Although each channel receives its start pulse from the internal T

0

pulse, the start pulse can be assigned such

that it is relative to the T

0

pulse or relative to any other channel pulse. This allows the ability to link dependent

events. The entered delay value is relative to the selected sync source. This source can be changed by pressing
the Sync soft key while in the Channel Menu page.

It is important to note that the 577 will not allow a circular chain of sync sources that would result in a channel
triggering itself.
