The 5T3 can be triggered from any of four different sources:
The 5T3 can be triggered from any of four different sources:
# Internal trigger from the sampling plug-in, via interconnect J9.
# Internal trigger from the sampling plug-in, via interconnect J9.
# Internal trigger from the calibrator module in the 661 mainframe.
# Internal trigger from the calibrator module in the 661 mainframe. This works up to 1 GHz.
# External trigger to the high-impedance BNC trigger input. This input is buffered by an [[8056]] [[nuvistor|Nuvistor]] cathode follower.
# External trigger to the high-impedance BNC trigger input. This input is buffered by an [[8056]] [[nuvistor|Nuvistor]] cathode follower. This can be used for triggering on signals up to 20 MHz.
# External trigger to the 50 Ω [[GR-874]] trigger input. This input can drive either of two selectable signal paths:
# External trigger to the 50 Ω [[GR-874]] trigger input. This input can drive either of two selectable signal paths:
#* A path where the trigger signal skips the high-impedance Nuvistor input buffer but is still buffered by Q64 and Q124 (1 GHz NPN transistors, part number [[151-0138-00]]) before the tunnel diode trigger event recognizer circuit. This path provides triggering up to 500 MHz.
