From a periodic input signal in the 1 GHz to 18 GHz range, the S-51 generates trigger pulses which have a fixed time relationship with the input signal.
pulses which have a fixed time relationship with the input signal.
The input is a 50 Ω [[SMA connector]]. The trigger output signal is available through a [[BSM connector]] on the front panel as well as through the internal interface.
