<N>

is an integer from 0 to 999,999,999 that is the number of pulses per unit length scaled

by 1000.

The High Speed Pulse Output can output pulses at rates higher than 5MHz. Caution should
be used to ensure that the maximum line speed encountered during operation does not
cause the pulse output frequency to exceed the maximum frequency of the counter. If the
pulse frequency exceeds the counter maximum frequency, the counter may behave
erratically.

Example:

Want 5750 pulses/meter

Measurement Units are meters/minute

Pulses/Length = 5750 x 1000 = 5750000

Command to set the value is: L5750000<CR>

Note: Changing this setting will cause a reset, will reset the indicated length, and will cause
the pulse outputs to be momentarily interrupted. Do not change this setting during normal
operation.
