SENSe:PULSe:UNITs
Description:
Set the units for entering the pulse distal, mesial and proximal levels. If units is set to
VOLTS, the pulse transition levels will be defined as the specified percentage in voltage. If
set to WATTS, the levels are defined in percent power. Many pulse measurements call for
10% to 90% voltage (which equates to 1% to 81% power) for risetime and falltime measure-
ments, and measure pulse widths from the half-power (-3dB, 50% power, or 71% voltage)
points.
Syntax:
SENSe[1|2]:PULSe:UNITs <asc>
Argument:
<asc> = WATTS, VOLTS
Valid Modes:
Pulse mode only
SENSe:PULSe:DISTal
Description:
Set or return the pulse amplitude percentage, which is used to define the end of a rising
edge or beginning of a falling edge transition. Typically, this is 90% voltage or 81% 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]:PULSe:DISTal <n>
Argument:
<n> = 0 to 100 percent
Valid Modes:
Pulse mode only
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]:PULSe:MESIal <n>
Argument:
<n> = 0 to 100 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]:PULSe:PROXimal <n>
Argument:
<n> = 0 to 100 percent
Valid Modes:
Pulse mode only
