Agilent Technologies U2761A Pulse Width, Soft Front Panel Operation, Remote Interface Operation

2 Features and Functions

Pulse Width

The pulse width represents the time from the 50% threshold of the pulse’s rising edge to the 50% threshold of the next falling edge.

•The range of the pulse width is 40 ns to <2000 s (see restrictions below). The default pulse width is 500 μs.

•The minimum pulse width (Wmin) is affected by the period.

Wmin = 40 ns for period ≤ 10 s

Wmin = 200 ns for period > 10 s, but ≤ 100 s

Wmin = 2 μs for period > 100 s, but ≤ 1000 s

Wmin = 20 μs for period > 1000 s

•The specified pulse width must also be less than the difference between the period and the minimum pulse width as shown in the equation below. The U2761A will adjusts the pulse width as necessary to accommodate the specified period.

Pulse Width ≤ Period – Wmin

Soft Front Panel Operation

After selecting Pulse at the top panel as shown in Figure 2- 2, on the Width panel below, input the desired pulse width value and select the unit from the drop down list.
