a. Trigger Level = -1kV.
b. Slope transition “High to Low”
19. Charge and Trigger the pulse at 5000V.
a. Push the yellow CHARGE button to start charging the internal high voltage capacitor.
b. Once the desired voltage is reached, press the red TRIGGER button to deliver the pulse (be sure not
to touch the output and return leads when pressing the trigger switch).
20. Verify the amplitude of the negative pulse captured on the digital oscilloscope:
a. Vpeak about - 4.72KV (When inductor selected is 500uH).
b. Vpeak about - 3.88KV (When inductor selected is 25mH).
