Setting Channel of Operation
To change the channel output modes enter the channel menu and press the page button until
the output mode screen is entered. Each channel may be set independently to operate in one of
four modes: normal, burst, single shot or duty cycle:
Mode: Selects the mode for the current channel. Additional parameters
are provided for the burst and duty cycle modes.
Brst: Sets the number of pulses in the burst mode to generate before
inhibiting output.
On: Sets the number of pulses to generate before inhibiting the
output in Duty Cycle Mode.
Off: Sets the number of pulses to inhibit before repeating the on
cycle in Duty Cycle Mode.
Delaying the Start of Channel Output
To change the optional wait parameter, enter the channel menu and press the page button
until the source screen is entered. Within any channel mode, the output of the channel can be
delayed using the wait parameter (within the Channel menu):
Wait: Sets the number of T
0
pulses to wait until enabling the channel
output.
Setting the Sync Source
To change the sync source, enter the channel menu and press the page button until the source
screen is entered.
Although each channel receives its start pulse from the internal T
0
pulse,
logically the start pulse can be assigned such that the delay entered is relative to the T
0
pulse or
any other channel pulse. This allows dependent events to link. The unit will not allow a circular
chain of sync sources that would result in a channel triggering itself. The delay entered is relative
to the selected sync source.
Sync Source: Selects the channel sync source.
Channel Advanced Menu
The channel Advanced Menu can be entered by pressing the desired channel button twice.
