The Tektronix PG509 is a 350ps rise-time pulse generator plug-in for the TM500 system.
It is intended for use as a stimulus for making measurements and produces a fixed-amplitude rectangular positive pulse waveform.
The amplitude control and pulse inhibit inputs at the front are designed to interface an AT5010 GPIB controlled attenuator, creating a GPIB-controlled variable amplitude pulse generator.
