There are two incrementing modes, Increment and DC Increment. In the
Increment mode, each start command or external trigger produces a burst of
pulses. At the end of the burst the appropriate delays and pulsewidths are
incremented and the instrument is armed for the next start command. In the DC
Increment (Duty Cycle) mode the output is starting as with the normal duty
cycle mode. At the end of each cycle the delays and pulsewidths are
incremented. This continues for the number of cycles defined by the Cycles
parameter. The modes are selected from the system mode menu. The step
sizes are specified in the channel menus. The Increment function is used as
follows:
•
Select ‘Increment’ in the system mode menu and set the number of pulses in
a burst..
•
Set the step size for both the delay and pulsewidth in the channel menus.
•
Reset and initialize the parameters by pressing Function-CLR.
•
To operate manually:
- Press the RUN button to generate a set of pulses.
- Press Function-CLR to reset the delay and pulsewidths to their original
values.
•
To operate with external trigger:
- Enable external trigger.
- Press the RUN button to arm the pulse generator.
- Apply external trigger to generate a set of pulses.
- Press Function-CLR to reset the delay and pulsewidths to their original
values.
The DC Increment function is used as follows:
•
Select ‘DC Increment’ in the system mode menu and set the number of
pulses ON pulse and the number of OFF pulses per cycle. Select the next Mode
menu to set the number of Cycles.
•
Set the step size for both the delay and pulsewidth in the channel menus.
•
Reset and initialize the parameters by pressing Function-CLR.
•
To operate manually:
- Press the RUN button to generate a complete set of pulses.
- Press Function-CLR to reset the delay and pulsewidths to their original
values.
•
To operate with external trigger.
- Enable external trigger.
- Press the RUN button to arm the pulse generator.
- Apply external trigger to start the duty cycle mode. Output will continue until
the number of cycles specified has been produced.
