Channel Timer Overview
The output of each channel is controlled by two timers to generate the pulse width and the delay
timing. All channels are simultaneously triggered, depending on the system mode, by the internal T
0
pulse, the external trigger, or a trigger provided by a CPU. A given channel may or may not
generate a pulse depending on its own channel mode as described below.
Using Channel Normal Function
The Normal mode generates a continuous string of pulses once the Run/Stop key is pressed. To
use channel normal mode set:

Within the Channel menu:
o Enable the channel output
o Set the delay desired.
o Set the pulse width desired.
o Set the mode to Normal.
Pressing the Run/Stop button key will now generate a continuous stream of pulses.
Using Channel Single Shot Function
The Single Shot mode generates a single pulse every time the Run/Stop key is pressed. To use the
channels’ single shot mode set:

Within the Channel menu:
o Enable the channel output.
o Set the delay desired.
o Set the pulse width desired.
o Set the mode to Single Shot.
Using the Channel Burst Mode
The burst mode generates a burst of pulses every time the Run/Stop key is pressed. To use the
channels’ burst mode set:

Within the Channel menu:
o Enable the channel output.
o Set the delay desired.
o Set the pulse width desired.
o Set the mode to Burst.
o Set the Brst parameter to the number of pulses to produce during the on cycle (
‘N’).
Using the Channel Duty Cycle Mode
The channel duty cycle mode will generate a stream of pulses on the channel level which will
oscillate on for ‘N’ pulses and off or ‘M’ pulses. To generate the stated sequence of pulses set:

Within the Channel menu:
o Enable the channel output.
o Set the delay desired.
