Avtech AVR-A-1-S2-C, Instructions Manual, Page: 5 / 31

INTRODUCTION
The AVR-A-1-S2-C is a high performance, GPIB and RS232-equipped instrument
capable of generating 200V into 50Ω loads at repetition rates up to 10 kHz. The output
pulse width is variable from 10 to 200 ns, and the sync delay is variable up to ±200 ns.
The rise time is fixed at less than 2 ns.
Instruments with the "-P" model suffix can generate 0 to +200V, whereas instruments
with the "-N" model suffix can generate 0 to -200V. Instruments with the "-PN" suffix can
generate both polarities.
The AVR-A-1-S2-C is a highly flexible instrument. Aside from the internal trigger source,
it can also be triggered or gated by external TTL-level signals. A front-panel pushbutton
or a computer command can also be used to trigger the instrument.
The AVR-A-1-S2-C features front panel keyboard and adjust knob control of the output
pulse parameters along with a four line by 40 character back-lit LCD display of the
output amplitude, pulse width, pulse repetition frequency, and delay. The instrument
includes memory to store up to four complete instrument setups. The operator may use
the front panel or the computer interface to store a complete “snapshot” of all key
instrument settings, and recall this setup at a later time.
This instrument is intended for use in research, development, test and calibration
laboratories by qualified personnel.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS
The AVR-A-1-S2-C is available with several options:
-OS Option: an externally generated DC offset can be added to the output.
-EA Option: the amplitude can be controlled by an externally generated 0 to +10V
analog control voltage.
