Half-Cycle Waveform Generator Characteristics
Description
Half Cycle waveforms are the same as the standard
functions except waveforms are generated as a
sequence of half cycles. The delay between the half
cycles is programmable

Counter/Timer Characteristics
Operation
The 3152B has a special mode where the instrument
type is transformed to operate as a counter/timer.
When this mode is selected, the operation of the
arbitrary waveform and its outputs are disabled
