[[Connectors#N|N connector]].
Referring to the output network photo below, current flows in from the left
through the 1K resistor, and charges the four red 0.1 uF capacitors that are in parallel.
When the mercury switch (terminals visible at lower right) closes, the capacitors are
suddenly connected to the output load of the pulse generator, causing a sharp step in the
output voltage.  The starting voltage of the step is typically 0V.  The final voltage is
adjustable, both in polarity and magnitude.  The range is approximately -10V to 10V.
