The AV-156 series of pulsed constant current generators was designed for a wide variety of component testing applications, such as laser diode driving, airbag squib testing, initiator and fuse testing, and power semiconductor device characterization. All AV-156 models described here include IEEE-488.2 GPIB and RS-232 computer control interfaces, making them ideal for many automatic test and R&D
applications. Model AV-156F-B is a similar dual-channel pulser, but offers higher amplitudes of 0 to +10 Amps, with 4 us rise & fall times. The pulse repetition frequency is variable from 0.5 to 50 Hz. All instruments with the -B suffix include a complete computer control interface. This provides GPIB and RS-232 computercontrol as well as front panel keypad and adjust knob control of the output pulse parameters.
