SPECIFICATION
Introduction
This section of the manual contains a general descrip­
tion of the Tektronix PFG 5105/5505 Programmable
Pulse/Function Generator and complete electrical,
environmental, and physical specifications. Standard
accessories are also listed.
Instrument Description
The PFG 5105/5505 Pulse/Function Generator is a
programmable signal source for single pulse, double
pulse, sine, triangle, square, and de output from
0.012 Hz to 12 MHz at 10 mV to 9.99 V p-to-p into
50Q. Output can be continuous, triggered, gated or
burst. The PFG 5105 is a TM 5000 plug-in designed
to operate in three compartments of a Tektronix
TM 5000-series power module. The PFG 5505 is not
a TM 5000 plug-in, but contains its own power module.
Parameter values are displayed on the front panel in
a 2 x 16 character LCD display.
Both instruments can be manually operated from the
front panel or, remotely programmed via the general
purpose interface bus (GPIB). Recommended control­
lers are the Tektronix 4041; or an IBM PC-compatible,
such as the Tektronix PEP 301, with the Tektronix
GURU software and GPIB interface card. When prop­
erly installed, the PFG 5105/5505 is compatible with
other devices that meet IEEE Standard 488.1-1987.
Instrument Options
Option 02 adds a frequency lock synthesizer that
provides a precise output frequency by locking the
output to an internal quartz crystal. This option oper­
ates in continuous mode only, from 12.1 Hz to
12 MHz.

PFG 5105/5505 Instruction Manual
IEEE 488 (GPIB) Function Capability
The PFG 5105/5505 can be remotely programmed via
the digital interface specified in the IEEE Standard
488.1-1987, "Standard Digital Interface for Program­
mable Instrumentation." In this manual, the interface
is called the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB).
The IEEE Standard identifies the interface function
repertoire of an instrument on the GPIB in terms of
interface function subsets. The subsets that apply to
the PFG 5105/5505 are listed in Table 1-1.
NOTE
Refer to IEEE Standard 488. 1-1987 for more
detailed information. The standard is published
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, Inc., 345 East 47th Street, New York,
New York 10017.
