The AV-151A series of high-voltage function generators allow sine, square, and triangle waveforms to be generated at amplitudes to +/- 500V and frequencies to 3 kHz, into loads of 100 kilohms and higher. These instruments also have a variable-gain linear-amplifier mode, which allows more complex waveforms (amplified from a low-voltage arbitrary waveform generator, for example) to be generated. The ultra-high-voltage AV-151A family operates at frequencies up to 3 kHz with peak amplitudes as high as +/-500 Volts (i.e. 1 kV peak-to-peak) to loads of 100 kilohms and higher. Models with the -B suffix also include a pulse mode of operation. The pulse mode allows the generation of a rectangular pulse waveform that swings from zero Volts to a positive voltage. The pulse width is adjustable up to 0.5 seconds. The maximum pulse duty cycle is 80%.
