iv. The
Smoothing
option is used to change the pulse slope in square pulse sequences. The
Edit Edges
button opens the
Smoothing Edge(s)
window (Fig.
Figure 3.7:
Light Source Smoothing Edge(s) Window
A. The
Rise Time
box is used to define the duration to rise from 0 to the pulse maximum.
B. The
Plateau Time
box is used to defined the duration the pulse is at its maximum value.
C. The
Fall Time
box is used to define the duration to descend from the pulse maximum to 0.
D. The
Pulse Graph
displays the pulse shape.
E. The
Active Time
box displays the total duration of the pulse. While the
Smoothing
option is active,
the
Time ON
is fixed at this value.
v. The
Pulses per sequence
(Fig.
) sets the number of pulses per sequence. If it is set to 0, the pulse will
be repeated indefinitely.
vi. The
Number of sequences
(Fig.
) sets the number of times that the sequence will be repeated. If it is
set to 0, the sequence will be repeated indefinitely.
vii. The
Delay between sequences
(Fig.
) sets the delay (in hh:mm:ss:zzz format) between each sequence
if the
Number of Sequences
is greater than 1.
viii. The
Total Duration
(Fig.
) displays the total time of the experiment. The different values can be
Inf
for infinite, a valid time value or
Err
if the
Time ON
value is greater than 1/frequency.
