5.5.4 Pulse Transients

Pulse transients let you program the output to a specified value for a predetermined amount of time. At the
end of the Pulse transient, the output voltage returns to its previous value. Parameters required to set up a
Pulse transient include the pulse count, pulse period, and pulse duty cycle. An example of a Pulse transient
is shown in Figure 5-28. In this case, the count is 4, the pulse period is 16.6 ms or 60 Hz and the duty
cycle is 33%.

Note that Pulse transients can only be programmed over the bus, not the front panel. Refer to the SCPI
Programming Manual for more information about programming Pulse transients and triggers.
