Pulse Measurements Mode – Option 330
Pulse Measurement Settings

How to enable Auto Analysis

— Press

Mkr ->/Tools

.

— Then

Auto Analysis

— Then choose from the following:

—

OFF

Analysis OFF

—

ON

The Analysis values appear below trace 1.

Pulse Top

Pulse Top is NOT the same as the pulse Peak. Pulse Top is used to set and

report the reference power level. You enter a value in percent, and the Pulse

Top value is reported in the Auto Analysis table in dB down from 100% of the

reference power level.

How to set Pulse Top

— Press

Mkr ->/Tools

— Then

Pulse Top

— Then enter a percent value between 0 and 100 using the numeric keypad,

the

arrows, or the rotary knob.

— When set to 10%, 10 dB down from the 100% acquisition is reported.
— When set to 50%, 3 dB down from the 100% acquisition is reported.
— When set to 90%, 0.5 dB down from the 100% acquisition is reported.

Grid

Enables and disables the display of a 10 x 10 grid on the FieldFox screen.

How to enable Grid display

— Press

Mkr ->/Tools

6 - Fall Time

The time it takes for a pulse to fall from

90% to 10% of its peak value.

7 - Pulse Width

The time between the rising edge and

falling edge of a pulse.

8 - Pulse Period

The time of one complete pulse cycle

9 - Duty Cycle

The ratio of the pulse width / pulse period.

10 - Pulse Rep Freq

The rate, in pulses / sec, at which pulses

recur.
