Introducing the Agilent 81101A Pulse Generator
The Front Panel
The major inputs and outputs of the instrument are available at the front
panel:
The external input (EXT INPUT) can be used to connect an external
arming source (triggered or gated modes), or to perform pulse
recovery (external width mode). For details, please refer to The
Mode/Trigger Screen on page 44.
The strobe output (STROBE OUT) provides a signal indicating the
duration of a burst.
In burst mode, the STROBE OUT signal marks the start and end of
each burst of pulses generated. The rising edge of the STROBE signal
is synchronized to the start of the first pulse period in a burst, the
falling edge is synchronized to the start of the last pulse period in the
burst. (see The Mode/Trigger Screen on page 44).
You can set the output levels to TTL or ECL (see The Trigger-Level
Screen on page 65)
The trigger signal (TRIGGER OUT) marks the start of each pulse
period (see The Mode/Trigger Screen on page 44). You can set the
output levels to TTL or ECL (see The Trigger-Level Screen on
page 65).
The OUTPUT provides the signal output, the indicator shows the
current state of the output (on or off).
NOTE
An input connector for external frequency reference (CLOCK/REF INP.)
is available at the rear panel (see The Rear Panel on page 28). When
the rear panel option UN2 is ordered, all input and output connectors are
available at the rear panel.
NOTE
For information on the use of the memory card slot, refer to The
Memory Card Screen on page 67.
