Two independently programmed output channels with standard ECL/TTL auxiliary outputs (Channel B optional)   High output amplitude level of 10Vp-p, (open circuit), in less than 2ns   High-Accuracy, high-resolution digital settings, over exceptionally wide ranges. Pulse width/delay are set with 1 ns increments to 79,999ns   Auto-calibration of output period with the built-in counter. Basic period accuracy is controlled to within 0.1% by an internal counter   Pulse output modes include single, double, delayed, and pulse complements   Extremely low jitter pulse width and delay specifications   Complete pulse error detection for error-free operation   Complete GPIB programmability   30 storable, non-volatile, front panel set-ups are available for front panel or bus operation   Standard built-in universal counter timer measures signals up to 150MHz

Versatility Using the latest in microprocessor technology, the Tabor 8600 provides reliability and ease of operation in either manual or GPIB-IEEE 488 modes. Featuring a non-volatile memory, Model 8600 is capable of storing 30 complete front panel set-ups giving exact duplication of complex tests. Last set-up before power shut down is always retained.

Precision Model 8600 employs a built-in frequency counter. This counter is incorporated in an internal closed loop which constantly monitors the output frequency. When deviation from programmed frequency is sensed, the counter instantly sends correcting data to the microprocessor thus, enhancing the basic frequency accuracy to 0.1% -an uncommon figure in such a class of instruments. This counter is also utilized in an internal self calibration routine which corrects the basic accuracy of the VCO to better than 1 %. The self calibration routine is front panel selectable and is usable anytime.

Expandability Standard Model 8600 is supplied with one main output (Channel A) delivering full amplitude and performance and one auxiliary output (AUX A) supplying a fixed voltage level of either TTL or ECL. Optional second output (channel B) is field installable. Only period is common to both channels. All other parameters are independently set.

Savings Using standard off-the-shelf components; sockets and plug-in board construction, model 8600 is easy to upgrade and maintain. Model 8600 is very affordable even for versions incorporating two output channels.

Applications General purpose pulse generation. Automatic test systems. Digital communications. High slew rate linear amplifiers testing. Material stress testing. ECL, TTL and CMOS component testing. High speed drive for microwave switches. Radar simulation.
