Simple Pulse Generation

Users have the following two Simple Pulse Generation options:

• Single Pulse Generation
• Single Pulse Generation with Start Trigger

Single Pulse Generation

The counter can output a single pulse. You can specify a delay from when the counter is armed to the beginning of the pulse. The delay is measured in terms of a number of active edges of the counter timebase.

You can specify a pulse width. The pulse width is also measured in terms of a number of active edges of the counter timebase. You also can specify the active edge of the counter timebase (rising or falling).

The following figure shows a generation of a pulse with a pulse delay of four and a pulse width of three (using the rising edge of the counter timebase).

Single Pulse Generation with Start Trigger

The counter can output a single pulse in response to one pulse on a hardware Start Trigger signal. You can specify a delay from the Start Trigger to the beginning of the pulse. You also can specify the pulse width. The delay is measured in terms of a number of active edges of the counter timebase.

You can specify a pulse width. The pulse width is also measured in terms of a number of active edges of the counter timebase. You can also specify the active edge of the counter timebase (rising and falling).

The following figure shows a generation of a pulse with a pulse delay of four and a pulse width of three (using the rising edge of the counter timebase).
