
Filter Width. When enabled, the filter width can be adjusted so that the unit will
not accept any trigger pulse widths that are less than the set filter width. This
allows for filtering out of errant or “runt” pulses that may be caused by noisy
environments.
Single Shot Mode (Trigger Enabled)
The external trigger input triggers a single pulse for each enabled channel. External
triggering is internally limited to 5 times the maximum set pulse width. To generate
channel pulses in single shot mode with the trigger enabled:

In the system MODE
menu: Set to ‘Single Shot’ mode.

In the system TRIG menu:
o Set trigger mode to ‘Enabled’.
o Set trigger level.
o Set trigger edge.
 In the channel menu: Set desired channels to ‘Enabled’.

Verify the rear panel Safety Interlock.
 Turn Arm Switch to ‘ARM’ Position.

Run Pre-Test if enabled and resolve any resulting error conditions.
Pressing the RUN/STOP key will now allow a single pulse for each enabled channel
at the next external trigger event.
NOTE: All operation modes require the Interlock to be in place and the Arm
Switch to be in ARM position.
Special Testing Modes
Pre Pulse Resistance Testing
The 9730 allows the user to setup a pre pulse resistance test that, when enabled, must
run and pass within the user specified range before allowing pulses to be generated for
any enabled channel. To use pre pulse resistance testing:

Setup the system mode, period and channel pulse parameters as described in
the Standard Operation Modes section.

In the Channel Test Menu:
o Set PreTest to ‘Enabled’
o Set PreMax to the maximum “Go” resistance
o Set PreMin to the minimum “Go” resistance
