Mode: Select the Normal mode.
Pressing the RUN/STOP key will now generate a continuous stream of pulses.
To Use Channel Single Shot Function
The Single Shot mode generates a single pulse every time the RUN/STOP key is
pressed. If the unit is in the active state, ( i.e. channels which are set to the
Normal mode are producing pulses), pressing the FUNC key and RUN/STOP
key will reset the Single Shot counters and generate one pulse in sync with the
other channels running in the Normal mode. To use the Single Shot mode:
- within the Channel menus
Enable: Select "Enabled" to enable channel output.
Delay: Set the desired delay.
Width: Set the desired pulse width.
Mode: Select the Single shot mode.
To Use Channel Burst Mode Function
The Burst mode generates a burst of pulses every time the RUN/STOP key is
pressed. If the unit is in the active state, (i.e. channels which are set to the
Normal mode are producing pulses), pressing the FUNC - RUN/STOP key
sequence will reset the Burst counters and generate a new set of pulses in sync
with the other channels running in the Normal mode. FUNC - RUN/STOP will not
affect T
0
pulse status. To use the Burst mode:
- within the Channel menus
Enable: Select “Enabled” to enable channel output.
Delay: Set the desired delay.
Width: Set the desired pulse width.
Mode: Select the Burst mode.
#/Burst: Set the number of pulses to produce in the burst.
To Use the Channel Duty Cycle Function
To generate a stream of pulses which oscillates on for ‘n’ pulses and off for ‘m’
pulses:
- within the Channel menus
Enable: Select “Enabled” to enable channel output.
Delay: Set the desired delay.
Width: Set the desired pulse width.
Mode: Select the Duty Cycle mode.
On Cycle: Set the number of pulses to produce during the on
cycle.
Off Cycle: Set the number of pulses to skip during the off cycle.
*Note: Older Berkeley Nucleonics pulse generators had a divide-by-n func-tion.
The duty cycle mode is a more general case. To reproduce the divide-by-n
