P<N><CR>

Set

 

<N> is an integer from 0 to 999,999,999 that is the number of pulses per unit length scaled

 

by 1000.

 

The User Scaleable Pulse Output can output pulses at rates higher than 250kHz. Caution

 

should be used to ensure that the maximum line speed encountered during operation does

 

not cause the pulse output frequency to exceed the maximum frequency of the counter.

 

Many counters have surprisingly low maximum frequency specifications. If the pulse

 

frequency exceeds the counter maximum frequency, the counter may behave erratically.

 

Example:

 

Want 100 pulses/inch

 

Measurement Units are inches/minute

 

Pulses/Length = 100 x 1000 = 100000

 

Command to set the value is: P100000<CR>

 

Note: Changing this setting will cause a reset, will reset the indicated length, and will cause

 

the pulse outputs to be momentarily interrupted. Do not change this setting during normal

 

operation.
