The Tektronix R116 is a programmable pulse generator introduced in 1965 for use with automated measurement systems such as the 240 and R250.
A modified version (R116 MOD703L) was part of the S-3130 testing system.
The R116 uses a 1N3716 tunnel diode to produce pulses.

---|---|
Pulse delay | 50 ns to 550 μs (±3% + 10 ns) |
Pulse width | 50 ns to 550 μs (±3% + 10 ns) |
Rise time | 10 ns to 110 μs (±10% below in 1 ns and 10 ns ranges, ± 5% above) |
Fall time | 10 ns to 110 μs (±10% below in 1 ns and 10 ns ranges, ± 5% above) |
Pulse amplitude | 0.4 V to 10 V into 50 Ω, positive or negative (±3% + 15/25/50 mV) |

Features |
|
The R116 has a programming connector in the back. Eight operating parameters can be programmed digitally (by switch closure):
- Trigger Source
- Mode
- Period Range
- Delay or Burst Time Range
- Width Range
- Amplitude Range
- Polarity
- Rise Time/Fall Time Range
Seven more parameters are controlled by connecting external resistances:
- Period Multiplier
- Delay or Burst Time Multiplier
- Width Multiplier
- Amplitude Multiplier
- DC Offset
- Rise Time Multiplier
- Fall Time Multiplier
