AUXiliary:PULse:POLarity{NORMal||COMPlemented|INVerted (?)
Description
This command will program the polarity of the pulse in reference to the base line level. The polarity options
are: Normal, where the pulse is generated exactly as programmed; Inverted, where the pulse is inverted
about the 0 level base line; and Complemented, where the pulse is inverted about its mid amplitude level.
Parameters
Name Type Default Description
NORMal Discrete NORM Programs normal pulse output
COMPlemeted Discrete Programs complemented pulse output
INVerted Discrete Programs an inverted pulse output
Response
The 5251 will return NORM, COMP or INV depending on the present polarity setting
AUXiliary:PULse{OFF|ON|0|1}(?)
Description
Use this command to disable a specific channel from calculating pulse parameters. This is specifically
useful for accelerating pulse computation for channels that are needed for pulse generation.
Parameters
Range Type Default Description
0-1 Discrete 0 Toggles pulse computation for a specific channel on and
off
Response
The 5251 will return 0, or 1 depending on the present state setting.
AUXiliary:PULse:TRANsition<rise>(?)
Description
This command will program the interval it will take the pulse to transition from its low to high level settings.
The parameter is programmed in units of seconds.
Parameters
Name Range Type Default Description
<rise> 0 to 1e3 Numeric 1e-3 Will set the rise time parameter. Note that the sum of
all parameters, including the rise time must not
exceed the programmed pulse period and therefore,
it is recommended that the pulse period be
programmed before all other pulse parameters.
