To Set the Pulse Width 
 
The pulse width is the time that the pulse holds at the maximum value.   
 
Press Source to select "Int" modulation source; press Mode to select "Single". The 
single pulse is as shown in the figure below.   
 
 
 
Press Width to set the width of the single-pulse modulating signal.   
  Use the numeric keyboard or knob to input the desired pulse width value. 
  The range of the pulse width is from 10 ns to (170 s - 10 ns). 
  The pulse width is limited by the minimum pulse width and pulse period.   
Pulse Width ≥ Minimum Pulse Width 
Pulse Width ≤ Pulse Period - 10 ns 
 
Note: When "Ext" modulation source or "Train" pulse mode is selected, this menu is 
grayed out and disabled. For the "Train" pulse width and the settings of the related 
parameters, refer to "Train List".   
 
 
To Select the Trigger Mode 
 
Press Source to select "Int" modulation source; press Trig Mode to select "Auto", 
"Ext Trig", "Ext Gate", "Key" or "Bus" trigger mode.   
 
  Auto 
The default mode is auto. The RF signal generator meets the trigger condition at 
any time and will start the pulse modulation once the pulse modulation function 
is turned on.   
 
  External Trigger 
In external trigger, the RF signal generator receives the external trigger signal 
input from the [TRIGGER IN] connector (as shown in the figure on the next 
page) at the rear panel. The instrument starts a pulse modulation each time a 
TTL pulse with the specified polarity is received. To specify the polarity of the 
TTL pulse, press Trig Slope to select "Pos" or "Neg" and the default is "Pos".
