Model PB5 Precision Pulse Generator |
|
|
 |
- Fine Value
- Multiple functions
- Higher rates
- Fast automated testing
|
|
The PB-5 sets a new standard for
precision pulse generators. It
offers full digital
controllability with a built-in
ramp generator for linearity
testing. It provides tail and
flat top pulses with outstanding
integral linearity and extremely
low amplitude change with
temperature. The PB-5 is capable
of testing the stability,
linearity and resolution of the
most demanding spectroscopy
circuits and instrumentation. It
is the successor to the industry
standard, PB-4 pulse generator.
The 4x16 LCD display, keypad,
and a spinner knob provide a
user interface that is easy to
use. RS232 interface is also
standard along with memory that
will store and recall nine
complete pulse setups.

The Model PB-5 pulse generator provides unprecedented performance in a precision pulse generator. It includes a full-featured, highly flexible ramp generator and programmability. As a precision pulse generator, the PB-5 surpasses or equals all existing designs in the important performance areas of resolution, linearity and stability. The pulse repetition rates, which are variable over a broad range, go up to 0.5 MHz. The higher rates are required when testing for MCA and PHA linearity because of the high number of data points required for a statistically valid test.
The built-in ramp generator allows you to control ramp duration, the number of ramps and the ramp limits. Now you can test the entire range of your system or just a portion of that range. This ramp generator and precision pulse generator combination allows you to tackle the most demanding applications. The new user interface is intuitive and easy-to-use. Parameters can be selected and changed by spinner knob and/or keypad pushbuttons. |
