Operating Instructions
GENERATING AN OUTPUT FUNCTION
The PFG 51 05/5505 provides the following output
functions: single pulse, double pulse, sine-wave, tri­
angle-wave, square-wave, and de. To output a function
requires selecting the front-panel functions, param­
eters, modes, etc., and their values, that define the
waveshape of the output signal. These selections are
presented in Tables 2-5 and 2-6 by general char­
acteristic. The list is a guide to setting the con­
trols to define the output; additional settings are
then described that add capabilities useful for special
applications.

If DC output is selected, enter de voltage: (DATA
numeric, units keys) ; press ENTER.
Enter frequency: (DATA numeric, units keys) ; press
ENTER.
Enter amplitude: (DATA numeric, units keys) ; press
ENTER.
If INT is selected, set internal trigger rate: (RATE,
DATA numeric, units keys), press ENTER.
If BURST is selected, set number in burst: (N BURST,
DATA numeric, units keys), press ENTER.

Press ENTER. Change to Period with
I NCREMENT key.
Enter period: (DATA numeric, units keys) ; press
ENTER. Period is displayed instead of frequency.
Enter delay: (DATA numeric, units keys) ; press ENTER.
Delay must be less than the width.
Enter width: (DATA numeric, units keys) ; press ENTER.
Width must be greater than delay in double pulse.
If INT is selected, set trigger rate: (DATA numeric,
units keys) ; press ENTER.
If BURST is selected, set number in burst: (N BURST,
DATA numeric, units keys), press ENTER.
If error occurs, check period, delay, and width for
illegal combinations (see Width, Delay and Period
Relationships later in this section).
(NOTE: SPCL 21 O returns period mode to frequency
mode.)
