What it is

The Agilent 8133A Pulse is a pulse generator.[2][1]

The Agilent 8133A Pulse is a bench instrument used for pulse generation and timing control in device characterization.[1]

How it works

The Agilent 8133A Pulse provides pulse outputs with programmable period, width, delay, and interchannel delay.[1]

The Agilent 8133A Pulse includes one pulse channel in the standard configuration, and a second channel can be added as either a pulse/data channel or a second pulse channel.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Agilent 8133A Pulse is used to emulate pulse conditions for device characterization.[1]

Applications

The Agilent 8133A Pulse supports device characterization and eye diagram measurements.[1]

The Agilent 8133A Pulse can generate digital patterns in NRZ and RZ mode when option 002 is fitted.[1]
