4.21 Source Subsystem - Pulse
This subsystem controls the generation of output pulses. The PULSe:DCYCle,
PULSe:PERiod, and PULSe:WIDTh commands are coupled, which means that the values
programmed by any one of these commands can be affected by the settings of the others.
Refer to Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 under PULSe:HOLD for an explanation of how these
commands affect each other.
Subsystem Syntax
[SOURce:]
PULSe
:COUNt | MAXimum Selects transient pulse count
:DCYCle Selects pulse duty cycle
:PERiod Selects pulse period when the count is greater than
1
:WIDTh Selects width of the pulses
:HOLD WIDTh|DCYCle Select which parameter to hold during programming
PULSe:COUNt
This command sets the number of pulses that are output when a triggered output transient
occurs. The command accepts parameters in the range 1 through 2E8. If MAXimum is sent,
the output pulse repeats indefinitely.
Command Syntax [SOURce:]PULSe:COUNt
Parameters 1 to 2E8 | MINimum | MAXimum
*RST Value 1
Examples PULS:COUN 3
PULS:COUN MIN PULS:COUN MAX

PULSe:HOLD
This command specifies whether the pulse width or the duty cycle is to be held constant
when the pulse period changes. The following tables describe how the duty cycle, period,
and width are affected when one parameter is set in a single program message. if two or
three parameters are set in a single message, there sequence will define how they will be
affected.
