1391 Wavetek 50 MHz Pulse Generator

The Fluke / Waketek 1391 VXIbus 50 MHz Pulse Generator is a 1 mHz to 50 MHz "C" size VXI Programmable Pulse Generator. 11 can generate single, double, and delayed pulses with programmable period, width, delay, riselfall uansitions, and output IeveIs. The generator operales as a continuous, triggered, gated or burst pulse source up to 50 IMHz. Additionally, the Model 1391 can be programmed for a square wave function (-50% time symmetry) up to 100 MHz. Pulse characterisics are programmable with 4 digit resolu~ion, with width and delay up to 2000 seconds, and riselfall transition times setrable from 5 ns to 50 ps.

The pulse ouput amplitude may be specified as upper and lower levels, which can be programmed in a +16 V window (z8V into 50R terminalion). Peak to peak amplitude, upper level value minus lowcr level value, is continuously variable in 10 mV steps from 150 mVp-p to 16 Vp-p (50R). The pulse amplitude (upper, lower, or both) may be modulated (PAM) with an external signal.

Control of the pulse generator adheres to the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) format Version 1992.0. February 1992 (refer to the SCPI manual for further information). SCPI is an industry standard language for remote instrument programming. Using any manufacturer's VXI chassis, the Model 1391 can be controlled using the SCPI language and the appropriate controller.
