with adjustable duration times. Duration will
default to 100 mSec, but may be set from 0.1
mSec to 500 mSec. Duration selections available
are 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 10, 100, 500 with an interpulse
duration of 500 mSec. e variable Pulse Duration
is interrupted with an interpulse duration of 500
mSec. Note: Load impedance does not aect
