Models 4220-PGU and 4225-PMU
The 4220-PGU Pulse Generator Unit and 4225-PMU Pulse Measure Unit are high-speed pulse
generator cards for the 4200A-SCS. In this section, the 4220-PGU is referred to as a "PGU," and the
4225-PMU is referred to as a "PMU." The PGU provides pulse output only; the PMU provides both
pulse output and pulse measurement. The PGU and PMU have similar pulse output characteristics.
A 4225-PMU can be ordered with one or two 4225-RPM Remote Preamplifier/Switch Modules. In
this section, the 4225-RPM is referred to as an "RPM." The RPM is a remote amplifier or a switch.
For example, it is a preamplifier for the PMU to provide additional low-current measurement ranges.
It is also used as a switch for the 4225-PMU, 4200-SMU, and 4210-CVU. See RPM input, output,
and top panels (on page 5-6) for details about the RPM.
