Pulse Width
The pulse width represents the time from the 50% threshold of the rising edge of
the pulse to the 50% threshold of the next falling edge.
–
Pulse width: 40 ns to 1000 s (see restrictions below). The default pulse width is
100 µs.
–The minimum pulse width (Wmin) is affected by the period.
Wmin = 40 ns for period <
10 s.
Wmin = 200 ns for period > 10 s, but <
100 s.
Wmin = 2 µs for period > 100 s, but <
1000 s.
– The specified pulse width must also be less than the difference between the
period and the minimum pulse width as shown below. The function generator
will adjust the pulse width as needed to accommodate the specified period.
Pulse Width <
Period – Wmin
– The specified pulse width must be less than the difference between the period
and the edge time as shown below. The function generator will automatically
adjust the pulse width as needed to accommodate the specified period.
Pulse Width <
Period – (1.6 × Edge Time)
– The pulse width must also be greater than the total time of one edge as shown
below.
Pulse Width >
1.6 × Edge Time
– Front-Panel Operation: After selecting the pulse function, press the Wid th
softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the desired pulse width.
