Options
There are several electrical, mechanical, warranty , and documentation
options available for the CW Generator .
Electrical Options
There are four electrical options available for the CW Generator . These
options are as follows:
Option 1E1 - Add Output
Step Attenuator
If Option 1E1 is ordered, an internal step attenuator is included before the
RF OUTPUT connector . The step attenuator has a range of 0 to 110 dB
(90 dB for 83711A/83712A) in 10 dB steps (0|110 dB for 11B/12B). The
correct amount of attenuation is selected automatically by the CW Generator
dependent on the output power level selected. If this option is installed,
you can select whether or not the step attenuator will automatically switch.
This function is useful during certain applications , such as when external
automatic level control is used. <idxadd high stability timebase - option 1E5j
Option 1E5 - Add High
Stability Timebase
If Option 1E5 is ordered, the CW Generator is shipped with a 10 MHz
temperature controlled crystal reference oscillator for increased frequency
accuracy and stability . If Option 1E5 is installed, the CW Generator must be
connected to A C mains power to keep the reference oscillator at operating
temperature . If the reference oscillator has not been connected to mains
power (the oven is cold), the CW Generator requires 30 minutes to warm up .
Option 1E8 - 1 Hz
