Quick Start - Normal Internal Rate Generator Operation
The 9530 has a powerful set of functions providing a number of modes of opera-
tion for the internal or System rate generator (T
o
). Most of these functions can
be ignored if a simple continuous stream of pules is required. Starting from the
default settings, which can be recalled by recalling configuration 0, the following
parameters need to be set:
Pulse Width, Delay Enter the Channel menus by pressing the letter key.
Enter the required pulse width and delay. Repeat for
each output channel.
T
o
Period Enter the rate menu. Set the desired pulse period.
Note that in general, the pulse delay plus the pulse
width, plus a 75ns hardware reset constant, for any
channel must be less than the T
o
period.
Start Press the RUN/STOP key to start generating pulses.
Stop Press the RUN/STOP key a second time to stop gen-
erating pulses.
Quick Start - Normal External Trigger Operation
To generate a single pulse for every external trigger event, based on the default
configuration 0, the following parameters need to be set:
System Mode Enter the MODE menu. Select Single Shot mode.
Trig Enter the TRIG menu by pressing the TRIG key. Select
Triggered.
Level Press the NEXT key until the Level parameter is dis-
played. Set the trigger threshold voltage to approxi-
mately 50% of the trigger signal amplitude.
