The P500 is a benchtop digital delay and pulse generator that generates four separately programmable delay-and-width outputs. The P500 can generate delays up to 1000 seconds in 1 picosecond increments, and is capable of a high repetition rate of 14 MHz. Applications for the P500 include laser timing, pulse picking, ICCD camera systems, ATE systems, and radar testing.
P500 trigger sources include internal, external, remote, manual, or line. The low-jitter internal synthesized rate generator may be programmed from 0.001 Hz to 14 MHz in 1 mHz steps. The external trigger features selectable trigger level, slope, and termination impedance. Trigger gating and burst facilities are standard.
The front panel includes a color LCD, numeric keypad, and spinner knob. Each function of the P500 has an intuitive single-level control menu invoked by an associated pushbutton. A HELP system explains each pushbutton, input, output, and setting.
Remote interfaces include RS-232, USB, and Ethernet with both ASCII serial commands and web page controls.
The standard P500 timebase is a precision temperature-compensated crystal oscillator. An optional OCXO is available for applications requiring extreme accuracy and lowest jitter. Multiple P500s may be synchronized to each other, or locked to an external 10 MHz reference.
