GPIB & RS-232:
Standard on -B units. See
http://www.avtechpulse.com/gpib
for details.
Ethernet port, for remote control
using VXI-11.3, ssh, telnet, & web:
Included. Recommended as a modern alternative to GPIB / RS-232.
See http://www.avtechpulse.com/options/vxi for details.
Settings resolution:
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.
Settings accuracy:
Typically ± 3% after 10 minute warmup, for timing parameter. For high-accuracy applications
requiring traceable calibration, verify the output parameters with a calibrated oscilloscope

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.

1)
-B suffix indicates IEEE-488.2 GPIB and RS-232 control of amplitude, pulse width, PRF and delay (see
http://www.avtechpulse.com/gpib
).
2) For operation at amplitudes of less than 10% of full-scale, best results will be obtained by setting the amplitude near full-scale and using external
attenuators on the output.
3) Customized jigs available upon request.
4) The amplitude settings should not be relied upon for any degree of accuracy, because the dynamics of the device under test can affect the actual
generated waveforms. Amplitude settings should always be verified by oscilloscope measurements.
5) Thus the diode must come to forward steady-state within 500 ns.
6) The diode must have a breakdown voltage exceeding these amplitude limits. Contact Avtech for special arrangements if I
MAX
× 50Ω > V
BR
.
7) The full forward pulse width is 2 us, but the reverse pulse is super-imposed on the forward pulse 500 ns after the start of the forward pulse.
8) Increases to 4.5 ns for units with the -DIPFP option, due to the switching relay inductance.
9) Depends on the parasitic inductance of the DUT and its leads.
10)These instruments are provided with a basic calibration checksheet, showing a selection of measured output parameters. These measurements are
performed with equipment that is calibrated on a regular basis by a third-party ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited calibration laboratory. However,
Avtech itself does not claim any accreditation. For applications requiring traceable performance, use a calibrated measurement system rather than
relying on the accuracy of the pulse generator settings.
