9.2.10 Programmable Pulse Output Commands
Pulse Width
Command: nnn.nnPW
nnn.nnPW configures the Programmable Pulse output pulse width in seconds, from 0.01 to 600
seconds, in Seconds per Pulse, Pulse per Hour and Pulse per Day modes.
Response:
C
Format: nnn.nn (0.01 to 600 seconds in 10-millisecond increments).
For values greater than 1, use a decimal point and enter trailing zeros as applicable.
Examples:
1 = 0.01 second
10 = 0.10 second
1.00 = 1 second
100 = 1 second
Seconds Per Pulse / Pulse Per Hour
Command: m,nPS
m,nPS configures the programmable pulse as “Seconds per Pulse” or “Pulse Per Hour” mode as
follows:
Response:
C
Format: m = 0, seconds–per–pulse mode
m = 1, pulse–per–hour mode
n = 1 – 60000 seconds if seconds–per–pulse mode
n = 1 – 3599 seconds offset from hour if pulse–per–hour mode
For the Seconds–Per–Pulse mode, the first pulse will be on time at the top of the minute. If n is
divisible by 60, the first pulse will be on time at the top of the hour.
For the Pulse–Per–Hour mode, the pulse will be on time at the second after the hour described by
n. For example, 1,1200ps would cause a pulse at exactly 20 minutes after the hour.
If only one number is present then the number sets the seconds as in seconds–per–pulse mode.
