User Manual 1176.8674.02 ─ 07

Source

Selects between the internal "Pulse Generator", or an "External" pulse signal for the
modulation. In the later case, the instrument expects the pulse modulation signals at
the USER 2 connector.

Remote command:

[:SOURce<hw>]:PULM:SOURce

Polarity

Sets the polarity of the active slope of the modulation signal for "Source > External".

Remote command:

[:SOURce<hw>]:PULM:POLarity

External Impedance

Selects the input impedance for an external pulse modulation signal.

Remote command:

[:SOURce<hw>]:PULM:TRIGger:EXTernal:IMPedance

7.7.9.2

Pulse Generator Settings

► To access the pulse connector/trigger settings, select "SGMA-GUI > Instrument

Name > RF > Pulse Modulation > Connector/Trigger".

Comprises the settings necessary to configure the internal pulse modulation signal.

Pulse Mode

Sets the operating mode of the pulse generator.

"Single"

Generates a single pulse in one pulse period

"Double"

Generates two pulses in one pulse period.

Remote command:

[:SOURce<hw>]:PULM:MODE

Pulse Period

Sets the repetition rate of the generated pulse signal.
