To Use System Burst Mode Function

The RUN/STOP button generates a stream of "n" T

pulses, where "n" is

specified by the Burst parameter. The rate is specified in the Rate menu.

Pressing the RUN/STOP button while the burst is in process will stop the

output. After the burst has been completed, pressing the RUN/STOP button

will generate another burst. To generate a burst of pulses:

- Within the system MODE menu

Mode:

Select the Burst mode.

Burst:

Set the number of pulses to produce in the burst.

To Use System Duty Cycle Function

The RUN/STOP button starts a continuous pulse stream which oscillates on for the
“n” pulses and off for “m” pulses, where “n” and “m” are specified by the On and Off
parameters, respectively. The rate is specified in the Rate Menu. To generate a
stream of pulses which oscillates on the ‘n’ pulses and off for ‘m’ pulses.

- Within the system MODE menu

Mode:

Select the Duty Cycle mode.

On:

Set the number of pulses to produce during the on cycle.

Off:

Set the number of pulses to skip during the off cycle.

-Within the RATE menu

Period:

Set desired Period.

Channel Timer Overview

The output of each channel is controlled by two timers to generate the delay timing
and the pulsewidth. All channels are simultaneously triggered, depending

On the system mode, by either the internal T

pulse, the external trigger, or a

trigger provided by the CPU. A given channel may or may not generate a
pulse depending on its own channel mode as described below.

When one channel is generating a continuous stream of pulses, a user can
trigger a single shot or burst of pulses on another channel without interrupting the
continuous stream by pressing “FUNCTION” and “RUN/STOP”.

To Use Channel Normal Mode Function

The Normal mode generates a continuous stream of pulses at a rate determined
by the system timer:

- Within the Channel menus

Enable:

Select Enable to enable channel output.

Dly:

Set the desired delay.

Wid:

Set the desired pulsewidth.

Mode:

Select the Normal mode.
