Parameters

 

Description

MODE

0

= Continuous mode

Sets the pulse generator mode.

 

1

= Burst mode

 

 

2

= Duty Cycle mode

 

 

3

= Single Shot mode

 

 

4

= External Trigger mode

 

GATE

0

= off

 

Enables the external trigger input to function as a gate

 

1

= active low

controlling all outputs. Cannot be used with external

 

2

= active high

trigger mode.

ToPer

1000 - 99999999 μs

Sets the To internal sync period, used only in Continu-

 

500 - 99999999 μs (400B)

ous, Burst and Duty Cycle modes.

DC:On

1

- 10000 Sec

 

Sets the on time, in seconds, for the Duty Cycle mode.

DC:Off

1

- 10000 Sec

 

Sets the off time, in seconds, for the Duty Cycle mode.

TRIG

0

= falling edge

Sets the active edge of the Ext/Gate signal when used as

 

1

= rising edge

an external trigger.

CYCLES

0

- 10000 cycles

Sets the number of cycles for the Duty Cycle mode.

#/BURST

1

- 50000 pulses

Sets the number pulses in the Burst mode.

T1:Wid

1

- 99999999 μs

Sets the pulse width, in microseconds, for Channel 1.

T1:Dly

0

- 99999999 μs

Sets the delay, in microseconds, for Channel 1.

T1:Pol

0

= Negative

(active low)

Sets the polarity of the output for Channel 1.

 

1

= Positive

(active high)

 

T2:Wid

1

- 99999999 μs

Sets the pulse width, in microseconds, for Channel 2.

T2:Dly

0

- 99999999 μs

Sets the delay, in microseconds, for Channel 2. Note:

 

 

 

 

The delay is relative to Channel 1.

T2:Pol

0

= Negative

(active low)

Sets the polarity of the output for Channel 2.

 

1

= Positive

(active high)

 

T2:Enable

0

= Off

 

Turns the output of Channel 2 on and off.

 

1

= On

 

 

T2:Gate

0

= Off

 

Enables the external input to act as a gate for Channel 2's

 

1

= Active low

output.

 

2

= Active high

 

T2:Wait

0

- 10000 pulses

Set the number of pulses to wait after starting T1 before

 

 

 

 

enabling T2. Note: This is used to allow time for the la-

 

 

 

 

ser to stabilize when T1 is used as a flashlamp trigger

 

 

 

 

and T2 is the Q-switch trigger.

T2*n

1

- 10000

 

Sets the period of T2 relative to T1. The period of T2 is

 

 

 

 

the period of T1 multiplied by n.

BEEP

1

- 1000

 

Beeps the buzzer inside the 9412/9412A the specified

 

 

 

 

number of times.

RUN

0

= Disable

 

Enable / disables the pulse generator output.

 

1

= Enable
