Digital Pulse
Programming
Use the following command for programming the pulse parameters.
The pulse is created digitally however, it closely simulates an
analog pulse generator so pulse parameters are programmed just
as they would be programmed on a dedicated pulse generator
instrument. Just bear in mind that since this is a digital instrument,
there are some limitations to the pulse design that evolve from the
fact that the best resolution is one sample clock interval and also,
keep in mind that the pulse is created digitally in the arbitrary
memory and therefore, its smallest incremental step has a
maximum value limitation as specified in Appendix A.
AUXiliary:PULse:DELay<delay>(?)
Description
This command will program the delayed interval of which the output idles on the low level amplitude until
the first transition to high level amplitude.
Parameters
Name
Range
Type
Default
Description
<delay>
0 to 1e3
Numeric
0
Will set the delay time interval in units of seconds.
Note that the sum of all parameters, including the
pulse delay time must not exceed the programmed
pulse period and therefore, it is recommended that
the pulse period be programmed first and then all
other pulse parameters.
Response
The 5251 will return the pulse delay value in units of seconds.
AUXiliary:PULse:DOUBle{OFF|ON|0|1}(?)
Description
This command will turn the double pulse mode on and off. The double pulse mode duplicates the first pulse
parameters at a delayed interval set by the double pulse delay value.
Parameters
Range
Type
Default
Description
0-1
Discrete
0
Sets the double pulse mode on and off
Response
The 5251 will return 0, or 1 depending on the present double mode setting.
