To set the pulse width on a function generator, you will need to adjust the duty cycle or pulse width knob on the device. This knob controls the amount of time the pulse is in a high state compared to the low state, and can typically be adjusted in percentage or time units.
Yes, most function generators have the ability to generate multiple pulses in a single output. This is typically achieved by using the pulse train or burst mode function on the device. Refer to your specific function generator's manual for instructions on how to use this feature.
To adjust the frequency of the pulsed signal on a function generator, you will need to use the frequency knob or buttons on the device. Some function generators also have the option to input a specific frequency using a keypad or computer interface. The frequency will determine the number of pulses generated per second.
Yes, many function generators have the ability to generate custom pulse shapes. This is typically done by using the arbitrary waveform function on the device, which allows you to input a specific waveform using a computer interface. Refer to your function generator's manual for instructions on how to use this feature.
To synchronize the pulsed signal on a function generator with other instruments, you will need to use the sync input or output on the device. This allows you to sync the pulse with an external trigger or signal from another instrument. Consult your function generator's manual for instructions on how to use this feature.
