Hi David,
The Pulse* records are rather hardware-specific; they were written for the

(now probably obsolete) Mizar MZ-8310 VME board, and are included in the
support for that module at
http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/timing/mizar/index.html
I don't particularly like the Record Reference Manual including record types
that are not part of the official Base release, but there is no effort
available to make the sweeping revisions that are really needed to clean it
up. Tim Mooney added the Transform and sCalcout record types in 2006. The
Pulse* record type documentation should definitely be removed from the Wiki.
If you would like an account for the wiki I would be *very* happy to give you
one, user-editing being a major purpose of such things...
