Command String
PD A, BBB.BBBB
A = 1, 2, ... or n pulse card channel number. The largest permissible value of n
equals the number of channels in the system (8 maximum).
BBB.BBBB = Output (load) impedance in ohms: 1.0 to 10 e6
PG A, B, C
A = 1, 2, ... or n pulse card channel number. The largest permissible value of n
equals the number of channels in the system (8 maximum).
B = Pulse trigger mode: 0 (Burst), 1 (Continuous) or 2 (Trig Burst)
C = Number of pulses to output (Burst or Trig Burst): 1 to 2
PH A
A = 1, 2, ... or n pulse card channel number. The largest permissible value of n
