Purpose
Pulse Copy allows you to program a series, or “train” of pulses into a channel without
having to enter the On and Off setpoints for each pulse. The Pulse Copy function prompts
you for the beginning and ending setpoints for the pulse train; the number of pulses in
the train; and the duration of a pulse. Pulse Copy then divides the designated portion of
the encoder cycle into the specified number of pulses, evenly dividing the unused por-
tion of the segment between the pulses.
Screens
The Pulse Copy function consists of eight screens:
PROGRAM:---<
Program to add pulses to;
Enter number, then SEL to go to next screen
CHANNEL:---<
Channel to add pulses to;
Enter number, then SEL to go to next screen
ON:---<
"On" time of leading edge of first pulse;
Enter number, then ENT & SEL to go to next screen
OFF:---<
"Off" time of trailing edge of last pulse;
Enter number, then ENT & SEL to go to next screen
COUNT---<
Total number of pulses to be added;
Enter number, then ENT & SEL to go to next screen
DURATION:---<
Duration of each pulse added;
Enter number, then ENT & SEL to go to next screen
DURATION: 35
EXECUTE<
Move cursor to EXECUTE, then press SEL to
generate pulses. To review values before executing,
move cursor to top row and press SEL as needed
DURATION: 35
COMPLETE<
COMPLETE indicates pulses have been generated
