The main controls are a pair of concentric switches for pulse period and pulse duration, with the latter mechanically limited to prevent the duration range to be set higher than the period range. | The main controls are a pair of concentric switches for pulse period and pulse duration, with the latter mechanically limited to prevent the duration range to be set higher than the period range. | ||
When period and duration switches are in the same position and the variable controls set ×1 (ccw) the output runs at 50% duty cycle. | |||
In the leftmost position of the duration switch, the output is locked in its "on" state so that the amplitude can be set conveniently with a DC voltmeter attached to the output. | In the leftmost position of the duration switch, the output is locked in its "on" state so that the amplitude can be set conveniently with a DC voltmeter attached to the output. | ||

When the ramp reaches the threshold, an output pulse of the set duration is triggered. | When the ramp reaches the threshold, an output pulse of the set duration is triggered. | ||
When the duration switch is put in the rightmost position (which mechanically forces the period switch to the same), both the rate and duration generator circuits are disabled. | When the duration switch is put in the rightmost position as well (which mechanically forces the period switch to the same), both the rate and duration generator circuits are disabled. | ||
In this "EXT DURATION" mode, the output simply follows the Delay/Ext Duration input | In this "EXT DURATION" mode, the output simply follows the Delay/Ext Duration input as compared to the threshold set by the variable delay potentiometer (0−10 V). | ||
