ECTANGULAR

 

RASTER

The following drawing describes the operation in case of rectangular raster 
(Options bit 12 is zero). The drawing also implies Options bit 0 is zero; if the bit 
is one, axes X and Y change their roles. 

Figure 5: Rectangular Raster 

Dwell

Real (4)

Dwell in milliseconds in a trigger point. 
The parameter is only used in Step-repeat 

operation; in normal operation, the 

parameter is ignored.

Pulse Width

Real (4)

Width of trigger pulse in milliseconds.

Pulse Count

Int32 (4)

The number of trigger pulses on one vector.
The parameter is meaningful only if Options 

bit 12 is zero; otherwise, the parameter is 

ignored, and individual pulse count is defined 

with each vector.

Vector Count Int32 (4)

The number of vectors. 
The parameter is meaningful only if Options 

bit 12 is zero; otherwise, the parameter is 

ignored.
