Waveform Capture (Discrete Pulses) measurement example
For the example shown in the following figure, the samples of three pulses are captured. The 51
samples (17 samples x 3 pulses) are placed in the Analyze sheet.
Figure 46: Waveform capture - Discrete pulses
Number of Pulses
The number of pulses for the PMU channel to output and measure for each step in the sweep (1 to
10,000). If you enabled autorange, load-line effect compensation (LLEC), or thresholds, the number
of pulses is output multiple times for each step in a sweep.
Timing Sweep
You can only step the timing parameters if the Operation Mode is set to pulse sweep or pulse train
(not pulse step) and if Test Mode is set to Pulse IV.
You can only sweep the timing parameters if the Operation Mode is set to pulse step or pulse train
(not pulse sweep).
The Timing Sweep Step option is disabled when Waveform Capture is selected.
The following figure shows parameter stepping and sweeping examples. In these examples, the
Number of Pulses parameter is set to 3, so there are three pulses per period.
