Programmable Pulse Output
(59551A Only)
The Programmable Pulse output feature provides a means of using the GPS
Receiver as a pulse generator. The pulse output, which is programmable by the
user, can either generate a stream of pulses at a specified start time and
repetition interval, or it can produce a single pulse at a specified time and then
stop.
The following commands are provided to allow you to operate and control the
programmable output of the 59551A GPS Receiver.
Note that the configuring of the Programmable Pulse output requires
consideration of five settings: start date, start time, continuous on/off, pulse
period, and pulse polarity. Changing any one of the settings will stop any
previously configured pulse stream and reassert all five settings. If the start
date has already passed when you modify the repetition interval, the pulse
output will halt until you provide a new start date.
