Pulses can be triggered by an external input, a manual trigger button, or an internal period generator (optionally gated by the trigger input). | |||
The trigger signal can be undelayed, delayed by a selectable time, or both (in which case double pulses are generated). | |||
The pulse duration, leading and trailing edge transition times, high- and low-level amplitude can be controlled independently. | |||
Period, delay, duration, and transition time switches each feature a custom position where a user-supplied internal capacitor determines the timing. | Period, delay, duration, and transition time switches each feature a custom position where a user-supplied internal capacitor determines the timing. | ||
