Pulse parameters
B2900 can be used as a pulse source, and supports pulsed output and measurement.
Pulse ON or OFF can be selected by using the assist keys displayed when the field
pointer is in the EDIT (green) status on the Pulse field.
The following setup parameters are available.
Peak Sets the pulse peak value. Not available for the sweep source
which sets the sweep output value to the pulse peak.
The pulse base value is set by the Source field in the upper half
of the display area. See
“Single View” on page 4-9 .
Delay Sets the pulse delay time. The pulse source changes the output
level from the base value to the peak value when the delay time
elapsed after trigger delay.
Width Sets the pulse width.
When the field pointer is in the EDIT (green) status on an entry field, the assist keys
are changed to the unit keys as shown below.
pA, nA,

A, mA, and A for the peak current

V, mV, and V for the peak voltage

s, ms, s, and ks for the delay and width
NOTE Channel operation by a trigger
If a channel is set to Pulse: ON, the channel outputs the pulse set to the Peak, Delay,
and Width fields when it receives a trigger.
If a channel is set to Pulse: OFF, the channel applies the bias set to the Peak field
when it receives a trigger. The settings of the Delay and Width fields are ignored.
The Peak field is corresponding to the
[:SOUR]:<CURR|VOLT>[:LEV]:TRIG[:AMPL] command.
