terminology, we can start with an example of how to design a pulse
train like the one shown in Figure 4-48. If you already have some
pulses shown on your Pulse Composer graph, click on New to start
with a fresh page. Another initial step is to set the design
parameters in the options menu to determine the way that the pulse
will be stored in the 3152B waveform memory. Click on

Setting the Pulse
Editor Options
As shown in Figure 4-49, the Pulse Editor option dialog box is
divided into four functional groups: Mode of operation, Design Units,
Memory Management, and Pulse Transition Management. These
groups are described below.
Mode of Operation
There are three options in the mode of operation group:
Freely Select Mode of Operation
- use this mode of operation to let
the generator decide for itself how to create pulses in 3152B
waveform memory.
Force Pulse Train to Single Segment
- recommended if you are
using one pulse section only. In this case, the pulse waveform will
occupy one segment only and the generator will automatically be
set to operate in arbitrary mode.
Force Pulse Sections to Multiple Segments
- places each section of
the pulse train into a different memory segment and the generator
will automatically be set to operate in sequenced mode. Select this
option for the example we are going to build later.
