Metrix GX5000-MoD 50 MHz Programmable Pulse Generator
Accessories: Soft Case + Operating Manual + Certification form + Aluminum rear spacers + Spare Fuse + EU Supply Cable
Description
The GX5000 is a high performance programmable pulse generator.
The instrument generates pulses with a repetition rate to 50MHz, width from lOns, variable delay, variable transition times and amplitude. The pulses can be output in continuous, triggered, gated or burst mode with an internal or external trigger signal.
The GX5000 can be remotely operated via the IEEE488 interface bus and is SCPI compatible.
PULSE FUNCTIONS
Single – One pulse at each selected period up to 50MHz repetition
rate.
Double – One pair of pulses at each period up to 25MHz repetition
rate. Both pulses have the same selected width; the position of the second pulse set by the delay control.
OPERATING MODES
| Continuous | Output continuous at programmed period rate. |
| Triggered | Output quiescent until triggered by an internal, external, GPIB or manual trigger, then generates one cycle at programmed period rate. |
| Gated | Same as triggered mode except pulses are output for the duration of the gated signal. The last cycle started is completed. |
| Burst | Same as triggered mode for programmed number of cycles from 2 to 999,999 as set by the N-BURST function. |
