Sequoia Series 111
4.25 Source Subsystem - Pulse
This subsystem controls the generation of output pulses. The PULSe:DCYCle, PULSe:PERiod, and
PULSe:WIDTh commands are coupled, which means that the values programmed by any one of these
commands can be affected by the settings of the others. Refer to Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 under
PULSe:HOLD for an explanation of how these commands affect each other.
Subsystem Syntax
[SOURce:]
PULSe
:COUNt <n> | MAXimum Selects transient pulse count
:DCYCle <n> Selects pulse duty cycle
:PERiod <n> Selects pulse period when the count is greater than
1
:WIDTh <n> Selects width of the pulses
:HOLD WIDTh|DCYCle Select which parameter to hold during programming
PULSe:COUNt
This command sets the number of pulses that are output when a triggered output transient occurs.
The command accepts parameters in the range 1 through 2E8. If MAXimum is sent, the output pulse
repeats indefinitely.
Command Syntax [SOURce:]PULSe:COUNt<NRf+>
Parameters 1 to 2E8 | MINimum | MAXimum
*RST Value 1
Examples PULS:COUN 3
PULS:COUN MIN PULS:COUN MAX

Returned Parameters <NR2>
Related Commands PULS:DCYC PULS:PER PULS:WIDT
PULSe:HOLD
This command specifies whether the pulse width or the duty cycle is to be held constant when the
pulse period changes. The following tables describe how the duty cycle, period, and width are affected
when one parameter is set in a single program message. if two or three parameters are set in a single
message, there sequence will define how they will be affected.
