How to make PULSE source with just 2 pulses?

[simpletk]

I'm trying to use PULSE voltage supply with just two pulses. I can either have 1 pulse or infinetely many pulses:

* two 5V pulses, 0.1s wide, 0.2s period
.control
unset ngbehavior
.endc
*               V1 V2 D Raise  Fall   PW  Per N
V1 1 0 DC 0 PULSE(1 5 0 0.0001 0.0001 0.1 0.2 2)
R1 1 0 1000
.tran 0.01 1.0 0
.print tran v(1)
.end

I'm using ngspice-36 from ubuntu 22.04

It seems you may be using the version 40 manual with version 36 software. It works with 40 and I think the "number of pulses" argument was new in 40:

    The 8th parameter on a voltage or current source now is 'number of pulses'.
    Previous usage had been PHASE, introduced by XSPICE, which has
    been redundant to DELAY. PHASE is again available when compatibility flag
    xs has been set.

If you do not want to build from source, two single-pulse sources in series or a PWL source should work.
