Remote Operation 5-73
SENSe:PULSe:MESIal
Description: Set or return the pulse amplitude percentage, which is used to define the midpoint of a rising or
falling edge transition. Typically, this is 50% voltage or 25% power relative to the ―top level‖ of
the pulse. This setting is used when making automatic pulse width and duty cycle calculations
returned by FETCh:ARRay:AMEASure:POWer.
Syntax: SENSe[1|2|3|4|6|7]:PULSe:MESIal <n>
Argument: <n> = 10.00 to 90.00 percent
Valid Modes: Pulse mode only
SENSe:PULSe:PROXimal
Description: Set or return the pulse amplitude percentage, which is used to define the beginning of a rising edge
or end of a falling edge transition. Typically, this is 10% voltage or 1% power relative to the ―top
level‖ of the pulse. This setting is used when making automatic pulse risetime and falltime
calculations returned by FETCh:ARRay:AMEASure:POWer.
Syntax: SENSe[1|2|3|4|6|7]:PULSe:PROXimal <n>
Argument: <n> = 0.10 to 30.00 percent
Valid Modes: Pulse mode only
SENSe:PULSe:STARTGT
Description: Set or return the point on a pulse, which is used to define the beginning of the pulse‘s ―active‖
interval. This point is defined in percent of the total pulse duration, with 0% corresponding to the
midpoint of the rising edge, and 100% corresponding to the midpoint of the falling edge, as
defined by the mesial setting. For most pulse ―on‖ average power measurements, it is desirable to
exclude the rising and falling intervals, and only measure power over the active portion of the
pulse. This is often known as time gating, and is used for the automatic pulse measurements
returned by FETCh:ARRay:AMEASure:POWer.
Syntax: SENSe[1|2|3|4|6|7]:PULSe:STARTGT <n>
Argument: <n> = 0.00 to 40.00 percent
Valid Modes: Pulse mode only
