This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object in which the load factor is some pulse function of the time in the domain.

timeSeries Pulse $tStart $tEnd $period <-width $pulseWidth> <-shift $shift> <-factor $cFactor>

$tag unique tag among TimeSeries objects
$tStart starting time of non-zero load factor
$tEnd ending time of non-zero load factor
$period characteristic period of pulse
$pulseWidth pulse width as a fraction of the period (optional, default = 0.5)
$shift phase shift in seconds (optional, default = 0.0)
$cFactor the load amplification factor (optional, default = 1.0)
