Pulse Wave
Press Waveforms key to select the waveform function, and press the Pulse softkey. The pulse waveform parameters are
set by using the pulse operation menu.
The parameters for pulse waveforms include frequency/period, amplitude/high level, oset/low level, width, rise/fall and
delay. As shown in Figure 5.1, in the soft key menu, select PulWidth. The pulse width parameter area is highlighted in
the parameter display window, and users can set the pulse width value here.
Figure 5.1 Pulse Waveform Main Screen
Frequency/ Period Set the signal frequency or period; The current parameter will be switched at a second press.
Amplitude/ HighLevel Set the signal amplitude or high level; The current parameter will be switched at a second press.
Oset/ LowLevel Set the signal oset or low level; The current parameter will be switched at a second press.
PulWidth/ DutyCycle Set the signal pulse width or duty cycle; The current parameter will be switched at a second press.
Rise/ Fall Setting the rise edge or fall edge for pulse waveform. The current parameter will be switched at
a second press.
Delay Setting the delay for pulse waveform.
5.1 Frequency, Amplitude, Oset, High/Low level, and Phase
Set the frequency, amplitude, high level, low level, and oset as shown in Figures 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6.
5.2 Pulse Width and DutyCycle
Pulse width is dened as the time from the 50% threshold of a rising edge amplitude to the 50% threshold of the next
falling edge amplitude (as shown in the gure below). The pulse width setting range is limited by the “Minimum Pulse
Width” and “Pulse Period” setting. For detailed information, please refer to “4060B Series Datasheet”. The default
value is 200s.
Pulse duty cycle is dened as the percentage that the pulse width takes up in the whole period. Pulse duty cycle and
pulse width are correlative. Once a parameter is changed, the other will be automatically changed.
1. Press Waveforms→ Pulse → PulWidth, to set the pulse width. The pulse width shown on the screen when the
instrument is powered on is the default value or the set value of last power down. If you want to set the waveform by
duty, press the PulWidth/DutyCycle key again, to switch into the duty parameter (the current operation is displayed
in inverse color).
