Programmable Pulse Output (59551A
Only)
The following commands are provided to allow you to operate and control the
programmable pulse output of the 59551A GPS Receiver. 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 can produce a single pulse at
a specified time and then stop.
:PULSe:CONTinuous:PERiod <seconds>
Sets the interval between pulses in seconds.
:PULSe:CONTinuous:PERiod?
Returns the interval between pulses in seconds.
:PULSe:CONTinuous:STATe ON or OFF
Selects whether the Programmable Pulse output will be just one pulse or a sequence of pulses.
:PULSe:CONTinuous:STATe?
Identifies whether the Programmable Pulse output is set to output a single pulse or
sequence of pulses.
:PULSe:REFerence:EDGE RISing or FALLing
Selects the polarity of the Programmable Pulse on-time edge.
:PULSe:REFerence:EDGE?
Returns the polarity of the Programmable Pulse on-time edge.
:PULSe:STARt:DATE <four-digit year>, <month>, <day>
Sets the date when the individual pulse (or first pulse of the pulse sequence) is to be generated at the
Programmable Pulse output.
:PULSe:STARt:DATE?
Returns the date when the individual pulse (or first pulse of the pulse sequence) is generated at the
Programmable Pulse output.
:PULSe:STARt:TIME <hour>, <minute>, <second>
Sets the time when the individual pulse (or first pulse of the pulse sequence) is to be generated at the
Programmable Pulse output.
:PULSe:STARt:TIME?
Returns the time when the individual pulse (or first pulse of the pulse sequence) is generated at the
Programmable Pulse output.
