### Function description

#### General

This function block is used to generate a pulse of defined duration (*tPT*) after a rising edge at the input *xIN*.\
The generation of the pulse can also be triggered independently by the simulation input **xTest**  (rising edge).\
The time difference to the pulse start is displayed at the output *tET*  (value range: 0 … *tPT*) .
