When triggered externally, the TRIG connector acts as an input. The delay controls do
not function in this mode. This illustrated below:
AMPLITUDE INTERACTION
Some properties of the output pulse may change as a function of the amplitude setting.
For some demanding applications, it may be desirable to use a combination of external
attenuators and the amplitude pot to achieve the desired output amplitude.
The amplitude may also be affected by the position of the delay control. If the maximum
output amplitude is lower than expected, try adjusting the delay setting.
POLARITY INVERSION
Instruments with the "-P-PN" suffix generate up to +100V at the main output, and are
supplied with an AVX-2 inverting transformer that can be installed on the mainframe
output. A negative pulse is then obtained at the out port of the AVX-2 module.
Instruments with the "-N-PN" suffix generate up to -100V at the main output, and are
supplied with an AVX-2 inverting transformer that can be installed on the mainframe
output. A positive pulse is then obtained at the out port of the AVX-2 module.
