Advanced Configuration Functionality
Pulse width
The factory default pulse width is 0.5 ms.
The width, or duration, of the pulse can be adjusted to match the requirements of different
counters or controllers (see Figure 5-1). These are typically lower frequency applications (<
1000Hz). The transmitter will accept values from 0.1 ms to 650 ms.
For frequencies higher than 1000Hz, it is recommended to set the pulse mode to 50% duty cycle
by setting the pulse mode to frequency output.
The pulse width will limit the maximum frequency output, If the pulse width is set too wide (more
than 1/2 the period of the pulse) the transmitter will limit the pulse output. See example below.
Figure 5-1. Pulse Output
Example
If pulse width is set to 100 ms, the maximum output is 5Hz; for a pulse width of 0.5 ms, the
maximum output would be 1000Hz (at the maximum frequency output there is a 50% duty
cycle).
