Explanation
This parameter is related to the pulse width and when any of them is changed,
the other will be modified automatically.
The pulse duty cycle is limited by the minimum pulse width (4 ns) and pulse
period.
pulse duty cycle ≥ 100 × minimum pulse width ÷ pulse period
pulse duty cycle ≤ 100 × (1 - 2 × minimum pulse width ÷ pulse period)
Return Format
The query returns the duty cycle in scientific notation.
Example
The command below sets the duty cycle to 60%.
:PULSe:DCYCle 60
The query below returns 6.000000E+01.
:PULSe:DCYCle?
