generator,  i.e.  internal  generator  frequency  sets  the  upper  limit  for  external 
triggering pulses frequency.  
Please  rotate  FREQUENCY  regulation  knob  to  the  most  clockwise  position  to 
allow the maximum external triggering pulses frequency.  
The minimum repetition rate is 50 Hz. The lower frequency results in decreasing 
of output pulses amplitude. 
 

Burst mode 

Burst operation mode can be simply organized by using external pulse generator. 
Set EXT/INT toggle switch in EXT position and apply external ENABLE pulse to 
optical SYNC IN connector. Output pulse repetition rate is set by FREQUENCY 
regulation knob at the front panel of the generator and burst length is determined 
by duration of ENABLE pulse. 
 
 
RECOMENDED OPTICAL TRANSMITTERS FOR  
EXTERNAL TRIGGERING AND OUTPUT PULSE MONITORING 
 
NPG-15/2000(N)  is  equipped  by  optical  connector  for  external  triggering  and 
output pulse monitoring. AVAGO HFBR-1522Z and HFBR-2522Z transmitters as 
well  as  AVAGO  HFBR-4501,  HFBR-4511  connectors  and  HFBR-RUS  optical 
cable are used for optical signals transmitting. 
The recommended external triggering pulse  width is 1µs.  Maximum  frequency is 
3.2  kHz  and  may  be  limited  additionally  by  FREQUENCY  regulation  knob.  The 
optical triggering pulse should be applied to SINC IN connector. 
SYNC  OUT  signal  may  be  used  for  synchronization  and  pulse  monitoring.  This 
signal precedes the output high voltage pulse for about 0.5 µs and has 2 µs width.  
To  use  the  optical  connectors  please  remove  the  rubber  protective  caps  by  thin 
tweezers or other suitable tool, stick gently optical cable with HFBR-4501/HFBR-
4511 connector into the hole up to click. 
Replace the rubber caps back to the holes while you are not using optics to prevent 
transmitter lens from the dust.
