Pulse widths can range from 55 ns to 10 us with repetition rates to 1 MHz (bursts to 5 MHz). Typical applications include instrument calibration, component testing, beam steering, Time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and PMT and MCP gating. An external trigger source controls the output pulse width and frequency. Two models are available: the PVM-1001-P produces positive voltage pulses and requires an external positive high voltage power supply. The PVM-1001-N produces negative pulses and requires a negative supply. The front panel has an SMB connector for the trigger input and a connector for the AC-to-DC converter. The rear panel has MHV connectors for high voltage input and pulsed high voltage output.
