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. | |||
