1The Library

Everything written for the pulse and delay generator line in one place: application briefs that frame each use case in a page, technical notes on the fundamentals of delay versus pulse generation, and the application notes on specific techniques and product families. The reference handbook in the sidebar goes deeper still on precision timing.

2Reference Handbook

The full reference for the Model 577 and Model 588B, written to be used at the bench rather than skimmed. Every published value carries its measurement condition.
