What is pulse train duration?

The duration of each pulse and its amplitude are also often made constant. This type of waveform may be defined by its mark–space ratio, i.e. the ratio of pulse duration, t₁, to pulse separation, t₂, and by its pulse repetition frequency, which is given by 1/(t₁ + t₂) 1/(t₁ + t₂)

How do you calculate train pulse frequency?

Pulse frequency is calculated by dividing 1000 by the total cycle time (on-time + off-time) in microseconds (44).

What is a periodic pulse train?

A periodic impulse train consists of impulses (delta functions) uniformly spaced T₀ seconds apart. An application of a periodic impulse train is in the ideal sampling process. Using (3.28), an even periodic impulse train, as shown in Figure 3.21b, can be analytically expressed as follows: (3.31)

How do you measure pulse width?

You can calculate the pulse width by multiplying the period of the Source signal by the number of edges returned by the counter. A pulse-width measurement will be accurate even if the counter is armed while a pulse train is in progress.
