[SOURce]:PULSe:COUNt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[SOURce]

 

The System Instrument contains a Pacer which produces TTL level pulses. The

 

 

SOURCE command subsystem controls the number and period of these pulses.

 

 

The output of the Pacer is available at the rear-panel BNC connector labeled

 

 

“Pacer Out”.
