Setting Up a Pulse Signal

Setting Up a Pulse Signal

Task Set up a continuous pulse signal with 20 ns period, a pulse width of 5 ns, an amplitude of 2.0 V and an offset of 1.5 V (high level 2.5 V, low level 500 mV).

Pulse Width = 5 ns

2.5 V

500 mV

Period = 20 ns

Using the Graphical User Interface

Instrument Settings To set the instrument parameters:

1Disable the outputs.

2In the instrument panel, choose the Pulse/Pattern mode.

3Set the Period to 20 ns.

Channel Settings To set the channel parameters:

1Switch to the Channel page.

2Select the pattern mode Pulse.

3In the Timing panel:

–Switch from DCyle to Width and set the Width to 5 ns.

4In the Levels panel, set:

–The level format to Custom.

–Switch from High/Low to Amplitude/Offset.

–Amplitude to 2.0 V.

–Offset to 1.5 V.
