Channel Type – Pulse Channel

Figure 79. 

Pulse Channel

Pulse 

channel

Sends a quick pulse when 

a vehicle is detected.

Is activated for a very 

short period of time when 

the front edge of a vehicle 

crosses the leading edge 

of a zone. A new pulse 

will be sent only after a 

car enters a zone while 

the zone is empty. You 

can configure how long 

you want the pulse to be 

by changing the 

Pulsed 

Channel Width

 setting 

in the Output Settings 

window.
