Standard pulse waveforms
Standard pulse waveforms are configured and controlled from the pulse card tabs in the KPulse
window. The following figure explains how to use KPulse for a standard pulse output.
Standard pulse waveform previewers: KPulse provides a preview of configured standard pulse
waveforms for each enabled channel. Each waveform previewer shows the high and low levels, and
timing for the waveform.
In the following figure, the configuration shown in the waveform previewer for Channel 1 uses the
default settings for KPulse (pulse high = 1 V and pulse low = 0 V). Channel 2 uses the same settings,
but the complement mode is enabled. Pulse high goes to pulse low level (0 V) and pulse low goes to
pulse high level (1 V).
The following instructions describe how to use KPulse for a standard pulse output. Repeat these
steps for any installed cards that you want to set to standard pulse.
