See http://www.avtechpulse.com/options/vxi for details.
Settings resolution (-B units):
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.
Accuracy / calibration:
Not calibrated. At lower pulse widths and higher PRFs, the amplitude tends to
roll off relative to the set value. For high-accuracy applications requiring
traceable calibration, verify the output with a calibrated oscilloscope.
Propagation delay:
≤ 200 ns (Ext trig in to pulse out)
Jitter, Ext trig in to pulse out:
± 35ps ± 0.015% of sync delay
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
DC offset or bias insertion: Optional 4 . Apply required DC offset or bias in the range of ± 50V (250 mA max)
to back panel solder terminal.
Monitor output option 5 : Provides a 20 dB (x10) attenuated coincident replica of main output
Connectors: Out, Monitor: SMA. TRIG, SYNC, GATE (-B only): BNC
Optional accessory kit: (attenuators
and terminators) Add the suffix "-AK1" to the model number to include the recommended accessory kit. Consists of
three SMA, 18 GHz, 2 Watt attenuators (10, 20 & 30 dB) for use on the output, and two 50 Ohm,
1 GHz, 1 Watt feed-through terminators (one SMA, one BNC) for use on external trigger inputs.
Optional accessory kit:
(coaxial cables and adapters) Add the suffix "-AK8" to the model number to include the recommended accessory kit.
Consists of one 12-inch SMA-M/SMA-M PE-SR405FL coaxial cable, one 12-inch SMA-M/SMA-M
RG-316 coaxial cable, one 36-inch SMA-M/SMA-M RG-316 coaxial cable, one 24-inch
SMA-M/BNC-M RG-316 coaxial cable, one 36-inch BNC-M/BNC-M RG58C/U coaxial cable, one
SMA-F to BNC-M adapter, one SMA-M to BNC-F adapter, one SMA-F to SMA-F adapter, and one
SMA-F to solder cup adapter
Temperature range: +5°C to +40°C
Power requirements: 100 - 240 Volts, 50 - 60 Hz
Dimensions: 100 × 430 × 375 mm (3.9” × 17” × 14.8”)
Chassis material: Aluminum, with vinyl trim
1)
-C suffix indicates stand-alone lab instrument with internal clock and line powering. No suffix indicates miniature module requiring DC power and external
trigger. (See http://www.avtechpulse.com/formats for details of the four basic instrument formats).
2)
-B suffix indicates IEEE-488.2 GPIB and RS-232 control of amplitude, pulse width, PRF and delay (See http://www.avtechpulse.com/gpib ).
3) For operation at amplitudes of less than 20% of full-scale, best results will be obtained by setting the amplitude near full-scale and using external attenuators on
the output.
4) For externally applied DC offset option suffix model number with -OS. The Avtech AVX-T bias tee can also be used to obtain DC offset. For internally generated
DC offset option (0 to ±5V) add the suffix -OT to the model number.
5) For monitor option add suffix -M.
6) At maximum pulse width. The maximum amplitude may fall for narrower pulse widths, with reduction of < 25% at the minimum specified pulse width.
7) A 50 Ohm load is required. Other loads may damage the instrument. Consult Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) if you need to drive other load impedances.
