Pressing the RUN/STOP key will now generate a continuous stream of pulses.
To Use Channel Single Shot Function
The Single Shot mode generates a single pulse every time the RUN/STOP key
is pressed. If the unit is in the active state, ( i.e. channels which are set to the
Normal mode are producing pulses), pressing the Function key and RUN/STOP
key will reset the Single Shot counters and generate one pulse in sync with the
other channels running in the Normal mode. To use the Single Shot mode:
- Within the Channel menus
Enable:
Select Enable to enable channel output.
Delay:
Set the desired delay.
Width:
Set the desired pulsewidth.
Mode:
Select the Single shot mode.
To Use Channel Burst Mode Function
The Burst mode generates a burst of pulses every time the RUN/STOP key is
pressed. If the unit is in the active state, (i.e. channels which are set to the
Normal mode are producing pulses), pressing the “FUNCTION - RUN/STOP”
key sequence will reset the Burst counters and generate a new set of pulses in
sync with the other channels running in the Normal mode. “FUNCTION - RUN/
STOP" will not affect T
0
pulse status. To use the Burst mode:
-Within the Channel menus
Enable:
Select Enable to enable channel output.
Delay:
Set the desired delay.
Width:
Set the desired pulsewidth.
Mode:
Select the Burst mode.
#/Burst:
Set the number of pulses to produce in the burst.
To Use the Channel Duty Cycle Function
To generate a stream of pulses which oscillates on for ‘n’ pulses and off for 'm'
pulses:
- Within the Channel menus
Enable:
Select Enable to enable channel output.
Delay:
Set the desired delay.
Width:
Set the desired pulsewidth.
Mode:
Select the Duty Cycle mode.
On Cycle:
Set the number of pulses to produce during the on
cycle.
Off Cycle:
Set the number of pulses to skip during the off cycle.
Note: Older Quantum Composers pulse generators had a divide-by-n
function. The duty cycle mode is a more general case. To reproduce the
divide-by-n function, set the on cycle to 1 and set the off cycle to (n-1),
where “n” is the divide-by-n factor.
