3.4.1 Pulse Period
The pulse period defines the time between two consecutive pulses from the
start of the leading edge to the start of the next leading edge.
It can be set as either period or frequency.
The pulse period will be ignored for triggered pulses.
Pulse Period
Characteristics
81150A: Pulse period limits: 8.33 ns to 1000000 s.
81160A: Pulse period limits: 3.03 ns to 1000000 s.
Pulse frequency limits: 1 Hz to 120 MHz for 81150A. 1 Hz to
330 MHz for 81160A
The default value is 1 s/1MHz.
The specified period must be greater than the sum of the pulse width
and the edge time as shown below.
Period Pulse Width + (1.6x Edge Time)
After selecting the pulse function, press the Frequency softkey again to
toggle to the Period softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter
the desired pulse period.

Operation
The following function is used to configure the Pulse Period remotely:
:PULSe:PERiod[1|2] {<seconds>|MINimum|MAXimum}
:PULSe:FREQuency[1|2]{<frequency>|MINimum|
MAXimum}
