OPERATING INFORMATION

Delay controls the time interval from the TRIG OUT pulse to the mainframe (PULSE OUT and ECL

OUT) or module outputs. In Single Pulse operation, Delay specifies the interval between the leading

edge of the TRIG OUT signal and the leading edge of the output pulse or impulse (plus a fixed delay—

see Figure 1-1).

In Double Pulse operation, Delay determines the leading edge separation between the pair of output

pulses or impulses as well as the interval between TRIG OUT and the second of the two pulses or

impulses.

Width controls the pulse duration of PULSE OUT and ECL OUT (and of the module output) in Pulse

mode. In Impulse Mode, the width is fixed and this setting has no effect.

Single Pulse/Double Pulse determines the number of output pulses or

impulses produced for each trigger. In Single Pulse operation, one delayed pulse or impulse is

generated for each TRIG OUT pulse. In Double Pulse operation, an initial pulse or impulse is produced

at zero Delay as well as a delayed pulse or impulse. The selection of Single or Double Pulse is made

with the {+/-, SGL/DBL} key, which toggles between the two.

{LEVEL} Sequences through the Level parameter menu. The selections are Peak,

Baseline, CW, and External Modulation. All of these are plug-in module

dependent. With no plug-in module these are not available.

Peak Level is used in Pulse Mode. This controls the level of the module output

when PULSE OUT is true (or, for External Drive operation, when the EXTERNAL

DRIVE input is above the External Drive threshold setting).

Baseline Level is the complement of Peak and is also used in Pulse Mode. It

controls the module output level when PULSE OUT is false. For some modules

this setting is not adjustable, and Baseline is set to zero.

External Modulation Level determines the level about which the module output

is modulated in the External Modulation Mode.

CW Level determines the level of the module output in CW Mode.
