  We reprocessed the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey, searching for single
pulses out to a DM of 5000 pc cm$^{-3}$ with widths of up to one second. We
recorded single pulses from 264 known pulsars and 14 Rotating Radio Transients.
We produced amplitude distributions for each pulsar which we fit with
log-normal distributions, power-law tails, and a power-law function divided by
an exponential function, finding that some pulsars show a deviation from a
log-normal distribution in the form of an excess of high-energy pulses. We
found that a function consisting of a power-law divided by an exponential fit
the distributions of most pulsars better than either log-normal or power-law
functions. For pulsars that were detected in a periodicity search, we computed
the ratio of their single-pulse signal-to-noise ratios to their signal-to-noise
ratios from a Fourier transform and looked for correlations between this ratio
and physical parameters of the pulsars. The only correlation found is the
expected relationship between this ratio and the spin period. Fitting
log-normal distributions to the amplitudes of pulses from RRATs showed similar
behaviour for most RRATs. Here, however, there seem to be two distinct
distributions of pulses, with the lower-energy distribution being consistent
with noise. Pulse-energy distributions for two of the RRATS processed were
consistent with those found for normal pulsars, suggesting that pulsars and
RRATs have a common emission mechanism, but other factors influence the
specific emission properties of each source class.
