The Pulse agent configuration contains the following tabs:
...
| Field | Description |
Time Unit | Select the time unit that is applicable to the time fields on this tab. |
| Interval Type | Select an interval type that corresponds with the desired generation of Pulse UDRs. Fixed - UDRs are generated at a fixed time interval Linear - UDRs are generated at a linearly increasing or decreasing time interval. Gaussian - UDRs are generated according to a Gaussian probability distribution. Poisson - UDRs are generated according to a Poisson process. Single - A single UDR is generated at workflow start. |
| Interval | Specify the interval between the pulses according to the Time Unit selected above. Interval is available when the selected Interval Type is Fixed. |
| Start | Specify the start interval between pulses. Start is available when the selected Interval Type is Linear. |
| Stop | Specify the final interval between pulses. Stop is available when the selected Interval Type is Linear. |
| Rate | Specify the value that is incremented or decremented from the interval when a Pulse UDR is generated. Use a positive value to increment and a negative value to decrement. Rate is available when the selected Interval Type is Linear. |
| Central Interval | When the selected Interval Type is Gaussian, enter the median interval between Pulse UDRs in the probability distribution. When the selected Interval Type is Poisson, enter 1/(expected number of Pulse UDRs per time unit). Example - Poisson interval type Expected number of Pulse UDRs is five (5) per second, so 0.2 seconds between UDRs. Select MILLISECONDS in Time Unit and enter 200 in Central Interval. Central Interval is available when the selected Interval Type is Gaussian or Poisson. |
| Width | Enter the standard deviation of the probability distribution. When you use a low value, the intervals tend to be close to the value of the Central Interval. Use a high value to spread the intervals over a wider range. Width is available when the selected Interval Type is Gaussian. |

The real value of the configured interval length is an approximate and must not be used for time-sensitive tasks. To get the most accurate pulse-delay, use fixed time intervals. |
