Configure a Pulse Wave
Configure a Pulse Wave
Description
A pulse wave has amplitude, offset, and phase relative to sync pulse. It also adds edge slope, period, and duty cycle (or
pulse width, depending on the FUNC:PULSe:HOLD configuration). Its amplitude and offset can also be set using high
and low voltage values.
Example
The following waveform can be set up with the series of SCPI commands, where high and low can be used in place of
SOUR:VOLT and SOUR:VOLT:OFFS.
The following commands produce the pulse wave shown above.
FUNCtion PULS
FUNC PULS
FUNC:PULS:HOLD WIDT
FUNC:PULS:TRAN:LEAD 8E-8
FUNC:PULS:TRAN:TRA 1.3E-7
FUNC:PULS:WIDT 1E-6
FREQ 6E5
VOLT 3
OUTP ON
Remarks
l You can use FUNC:PULS:PER instead of FREQ. These commands are paired; changing one changes the other.
l Pulse can be specified by width or duty cycle, which are also coupled. Use FUNCtion:PULSe:HOLD DCYC to specify
that duty cycle is held constant value as frequency or period changes. Use FUNCtion:PULSe:HOLD WIDTh to spec-
ify that pulse width is held constant as frequency or period changes.
