Pulse sweep type
The Model 2461 supports the following pulse sweep types:
• Linear pulse sweep using points or steps
• Logarithmic pulse sweep
• Dual linear or logarithmic pulse sweep
• Pulse train
• Pulse list sweep
The following topics describe the pulse sweep types.
Pulse train
A pulse train is a series of uniform pulses that start from the bias level to the specified pulse level at
evenly spaced intervals.
When a pulse train is initiated, the output goes from the bias level to the pulse level and remains
there for the duration of the pulse width. It then returns to the bias level for the specified off time and
delay time before the next pulse.
