Overview
Model 6040 Front Panel Interface
- Pulse Width and Delay Setup
- Trigger and Trigger Level Setup
- Optical Power and Pulse Amplitude Setup
- Communication Setup
Even the mainframe 6040 without any module provides capable positive and negative outputs. Capabilities of the mainframe with its modules include single pulse, double pulse, impulse, external drive, external modulation, and CW. The modules themselves determine which of these capabilities are available. Some modules can operate to the full repetition rate of the mainframe; others are limited to a smaller number.

Options
Electrical Modules
These interchangeable modules provide electrical signals from 5V, 180ps risetimes to 800V, 10 ns risetimes. The higher amplitudes have slower risetimes and the slower risetimes result in reduced maximum rep rates.

Optical Modules
These interchangeable modules provide wavelengths of 635 nm, 650 nm, 660 nm, 850 nm, 904 nm, 1064 nm, 1300 nm and 1550 nm. Other wavelength options may be available so check with the factory if you have special needs. The optical modules offer rep rate, delay, and width control, as well as amplitude, adjust essentially providing the optical equivalent of an electrical pulse generator. For all the modules, light is conveniently provided at end of an optical fiber for easy routing on an optical bench or to a test system.
