Figure 10-7 shows the trigger setup for this example.
Figure 10-7
Single pulse triggering
Pulse train example:
In this example, two timers are required: one to control the pulse period and a second to control
the pulse width.
Configure the timers and SMUs as follows:
Timer 1: Pulse period timer
• Set delay attribute to the desired pulse period (see Figure 10-8).
