To verify the card is working properly use the status hardware:outputs:slots:N command (where
N=Slot #) to obtain the current settings for a particular card.

2.4.2.3 4394A-ECL (PPS-ECL)
The factory default for this module provides two 1PPS outputs
The output types are user selectable/programmable. Users can change the PPS signal parameters.
Valid PPS settings are 1, 10, 100, 1K, 10K, 100K, and 1M PPS. To set the PPS signal parameters
use the pps command:
ATS-6501> pps [slot#] [port#] [pulse period] [pulse width]
The following example sets the PPS on Slot 1, Port 2 to 1PPS and the pulse width to 10us.
ATS-6501>pps 1 2 1 1e-5

The following rules apply:
1. PERIOD - period of pulse in seconds(max of 1, min of 1e-6)
2. WIDTH - pulse width in seconds (minimum of 5e-7)
3. For PPS Rates where the duty cycle is 10 µs or greater the pulse_width must be a
multiple of 10 µs, at least 10 µs wide, and at most half the duty cycle of the
pulse_period.
4. For PPS rates where half the duty cycle is less than 10 µs, the pulse_width must be
exactly one-half the pulse_period.
The system will generate an error message if the values are not correct or entered improperly.
Usage: <slot#> <port#> <pulse period> <pulse width>
