Description
Use this command to program the period of the PLL (INTernal2) when it
is used as the
:ARM:SOURce
for internal triggering of pulses, bursts or
patterns.
If you are using the PLL as
:TRIGger:SOURce
use the
[:SOURce]:PULSe:PERiod
command to set the pulse period.
Example
To set up bursts of four 50 ns pulses occurring every 500 ns:
:TRIG:SOUR INT
:PER 50 NS
:ARM:SOUR INT2
:ARM:SENS EDGE
:ARM:PER 500ns
:ARM:TRIG:COUNT 4
Select internal osc.as pulse period source
Set pulse period to 50 ns
Select PLL as triggering source
Sense edge of PLL signal
Set triggering period to 500 ns
Set burst length to 4
