Design Units
As you design your pulse pattern, it is easiest to design it using the
same engineering units as are used in your pulse specification.
Time Units
- Select between
μ
s, ms and s for the pulse interval
Level Units
– Select between mV or V for the amplitude level.
The ms and V units will be used in the example to follow.
Memory management
There are two options in the memory management group.
Do Not Override Loaded Segments
- makes sure that Pulse
Composer does not overwrite waveforms already stored in memory.
Allow Pulse Design With No Limitations
- allows Pulse Composer to
overwrite waveforms already stored in memory.
Pulse Transition management
The pulse transition management parameter defines for the
program how many waveform points will be used to step from one
amplitude level to another amplitude level. The longer the transition
time, the more steps the program will need to smooth the transition.
Allow System Control
– Lets the 3152B decide how to make the
transitions efficient in terms of memory usage and slope
smoothness.
Limit Increments
– Lets you manually control how many waveform
points are used in transitions.
After you complete setting the Pulse Editor options, click on OK.
Using the Pulse
Editor
The prime tool for building pulse patterns on the Pulse Composer
screen is the Pulse Editor. To invoke the Pulse Editor, click on the
Pulse Editor icon on the Pulse Composer toolbar and the editor
shown in Figure 4-46 appears. Refer to this figure for the following
descriptions.
