See http: www.avtechpulse.com options vxi for details.
Settings resolution: The resolution of the timing parameters (pulse width, delay, period) varies, but is always better than
0.15% of (|set value| + 20 ns). The amplitude resolution is < 0.1% of the maximum amplitude.
Settings accuracy: Typically ± 3% (plus ±1V or ± 2 ns) after 10 minute warmup. For high-accuracy applications requiring
traceable calibration, verify the output parameters with a calibrated oscilloscope5.
Propagation delay: < 200 ns (Ext trig in to pulse out)
Jitter: ± 100 ps ± 0.03% of sync delay (Ext trig in to pulse out)
Trigger modes: Internal trigger, external trigger (TTL level pulse, > 10 ns, 1 kΩ input impedance),
front-panel “Single Pulse” pushbutton, or single pulse trigger via computer command.
Variable delay: Sync to main out: 0 to 1.0 seconds, for all trigger modes (including external trigger).
Sync output: > +3 Volts, > 50 ns, will drive 50 Ohm loads
Gate input: Synchronous or asynchronous, active high or low, switchable. Suppresses triggering when active.
Output connectors:
(see above for quantity)
Mainframe: Multiple SMA female connectors, for connection to an equal number
of separate 50 Ohm loads, or for connection to the output module.
Output module (if ordered): Multiple SMA female connectors for connection to mainframe, and one
Type-N female connector for connection to a low impedance load.
Number of output connectors: 10
Optional cable kit:
(RG58C U cables, 5 feet 152 cm) 10 cables. Add -CK10 to model number.
Optional output module (for
combining multiple outputs on to a
single Type-N connector6):
Add -OM10 to model number.
Other connectors: Trig, Gate, Sync: BNC
Power, temperature: 100 - 240 Volts, 50 - 60 Hz.

-OM10 output modules: 43 mm x 66 mm x 107 mm (1.7” x 2.6” x 4.2”)
Chassis material: Anodized aluminum, with blue plastic trim
Temperature range: +5°C to +40°C
1) -B suffix indicates IEEE-488.2 GPIB and RS-232 control of pulse amplitude, pulse width, delay and PRF. (See http: www.avtechpulse.com gpib).
2) For operation at voltage amplitudes of less than 10% of full-scale, better results may be obtained by setting the amplitude near full-scale and increasing the load
impedance accordingly. This will provide lower output currents.
3) For applications where additional resistance must be added in series with the device under test, Avtech recommends connecting multiple Ohmite (www.ohmite.com) OY-
series ceramic composition resistors in parallel to create a high-power, low-inductance effective resistance. These resistors can be purchased readily at http: www.digi-
key.com.
4) Indicate desired polarity by suffixing model number with -P or -N (i.e. positive or negative) or -PN for dual polarity option.
5) These instruments are provided with a basic calibration checksheet, showing a selection of measured output parameters. These measurements are performed with
equipment that is calibrated on a regular basis by a third-party ISO IEC 17025:2005 accredited calibration laboratory. However, Avtech itself does not claim any
accreditation. For applications requiring traceable performance, use a calibrated measurement system rather than relying on the accuracy of the pulse generator settings.
6) Type-N is recommended, but a female BNC output connector can also be provided. Add the option -BNC to specify this.
7) To specify the higher-power option, add -XP2 to the model number. Not available on dual-polarity units.
