Pulse Train

$7.00 $10.00

The Pulse Train is a random trigger/gate generator that provides a great deal of control over the nature of the randomness. Trigger pulses are output with a random inter-arrival time that follows a user-chosen probability distribution with adjustable parameters. The available distributions are:

  • Fixed Value
  • Uniform
  • Triangular
  • Exponential
  • Erlang
  • Normal
  • Log-Normal
  • Weibull
  • Gamma
  • Beta
  • Binomial

Triggers can be forced to follow a regular pulse via quantisation of the their inter-arrival times. Minimum and maximum time between triggers can also be set.

In addition to the trigger output there is a gate output which rises as at the same time as the trigger but stays open for a period determined by a different, closed probability distribution. The available gate time distributions are:

  • Fixed Value
  • Uniform
  • Triangular
  • Beta

The sequence of triggers is repeatable and storing of initial conditions is possible using the Phone Bank module. Starting and stopping the Pulse Train is possible either manually or via the application of external trigger pulses.
