HP 81110/04A Quick Start Introduction 35
Introduction
General Information
General Information
The Pulse Generator generates all standard pulses, digital patterns and
multi-level waveforms needed to test all current logic technologies (e.g.:
TTL, CMOS, ECL, PECL, LVDS, GTL) and other digital designs up to
330 MHz. The HP 81110A provides a reliable and wide range of signals,
which can be used in even more applications than its predecessor, the
HP 8110A. This is due to enhancements made in the feature set and
specifications of the HP 8110A. The glitch and drop out free varying of
any timing parameter and the HP 81110A’s timing calibration feature
contributes to more accurate and confident characterizations of the
DUTs.
Benchtop Testing
The graphic display shows all pulse parameters at a glance, the Cursor
keys and the Modify knob allow fast and simple operation. The HP
81110A is equipped with the familiar User Interface from the HP 8110A,
providing no learning curve for those already familiar with the predeces-
sor product. The User Interface is designed to reduce/minimize the time
invested in getting familiar with the instrument. After familiarization the
instrument supports quick set ups of signals. This leaves the user free to
concentrate on the measurement task and testing of the DUT.
Automated Testing
The HP 81110A has the same SCPI conform command structure for the
feature sets identical to the HP 8110A. As with the HP 8110A, the new
product can be easily integrated into all phases of test-system develop-
ment such as planning rack integration and test program generation.
These benefits along with the low cost of ownership make the
HP 81110A an invaluable instrument in a wide range of technical appli-
cations. Programs designed for the HP 81104A can be used without any
changes for the HP 81110A with HP 81111A 10V/165 MHz outputs.
