Parameter

TIMEPRATio

 

*RST value

TIME

 

Description

Use this command to set/read the coupling between the pulse period and

 

the double-pulse delay:

 

TIME

The absolute double-pulse delay is held fixed when the

 

 

pulse period is varied.

 

PRATio

The double-pulse delay as percentage of period is held

 

 

fixed when the pulse period is varied.

Example

To set and hold the double-pulse delay:

 

 

:PULS:DOUB ON

Switch on double-pulses on OUTPUT

 

:PULS:DOUB:DEL 50 PCT

Set interpulse delay to 50% of pulse
