The pulse-width measurement setup is the same as what was previously described in the period measurement sample. The only difference is to select the Pulsewidth option in the Timing mode section .

 

Channel setup

The readout is now updated on each high-to-low transition. The recorder cursor readout shows 1.588 seconds and the counter value shows 1581.843 milliseconds .

We can use the super-counter to measure the low and high time of each counter or to combine the period and pulsewidth to measure the duty cycle of the signal.
