Model 8500 is a modern-universal source of test stimulus waveform. Its flexibility ensures continuing usefulness for a variety of tasks, today as well as in the future, when demands change. Its versatility, reliability, programmability and economy make it equally-at home in engineering research laboratories, production test stand, automated system or in the maintenance shop. Although providing wide 70 MHz frequency coverage, and large 32 V amplitude span, this generator is very affordable even for versions incorporating two output channels
Product Highlights
Two independently programmed output channels with standard ECL/TTL auxiliary outputs (Channel B optional)
Repetition rate to more than 70MHz # Extremely high output amplitude level of 32Vp-p, within a ±24Vdc window (open circuit), in less than 5ns
High-Accuracy, high-resolution digital settings, over exceptionally wide ranges. Pulse width/delay are set with 1 ns increments to 79,999ns
Auto-calibration of output period with the built-in counter. Basic period accuracy is controlled to within 0.1% by an internal counter
Pulse output modes include single, double, delayed, and pulse complements
Extremely low jitter pulse width and delay specifications
Linear transition times and separate controls for leading and trailing edges
Complete pulse error detection for error-free operation
