2.19 Configuring a Pulse Waveform
You can configure the 81150A / 81160A to output a pulse waveform with
variable pulse width and edge time.
The following steps show you how to configure a 500 ms pulse waveform
with a pulse width of 10 ms and edge times of 50 ns.
Pulses do not have period/frequency when being triggered and burst is off.
In all other cases, a pulse does have a period/frequency like other
waveforms.
Select the pulse
function
Press the key to select the pulse function and output a pulse
waveform with the default parameters. This is only true if the instrument is
currently using the default setting.
Press the Frequency softkey to toggle to Period. Set the Pulse period to 500
ms.
