Pulse Building
In the Pulse Building application, a pulse is described as the on-time of the signal generator's RF output. The Pulse Building application allows you to define pulse profiles and modulation characteristics that describe the on-time for the signal generator's RF output. No off-time is specified for a pulse. Off-time is described using pattern parameters and is defined as the time between pulses in a pulse train. See Patterns - Overview for more information.
The Pulse Building GUI allows the creation of pulse types: trapezoidal and raised-cosine. User-defined parameters describing a pulse include: pulse type, jitter, edge rise and fall times, pulse width, and intra-pulse modulation such as AM Step, Barker codes, and linear chirps.
Once a pulse is created with the default name Pulse <n>, you can rename it and it is automatically saved to the Pulse Library of the current project.
