Introduction
Screens Overview
Screens Overview
The instrument is designed to create pulse streams, burst signals and
data streams, therefore the instrument has to be set to the operating mode
required, to set the operating mode please refer to “Available Operating/
Trigger Modes” on page 47.
The instrument can be triggered, gated or used as a pulse signal recovery
instrument (external width), to set the trigger mode refer also to “Avail-
able Operating/Trigger Modes” on page 47.
NOTE: Triggered or gated mode is available only when internal Oscillator
is used as period generation source.
The instrument can be equipped with one or two output channels. It is
possible to independently program the timing and level parameters of
both channels.
If two channels are installed it is possible to select either the parameter
grouping for
|TIMING|
and
|LEVELS|
or all timing and level parameters
for
|OUTPUT 1|
and
|OUTPUT 2|
.
To change grouping of the parameter refer to “Changing Configuration”
on page 62.
Most parameters can be entered in 2 or more different formats, e.g.
width or duty cycle or trailing delay. To select the parameter format and
to set the parameters, refer to “Setting Timing Parameter Formats and
Values” on page 49.
Entering pattern for a data stream can be done in the pattern screen, refer
to “Editing Pattern” on page 54.
To protect voltage sensitive DUTs the instrument has the output voltage
limitation feature. For how to set limits refer to “Setting Limits” on page
57.
