IG-1277 PULSE GENERATOR The Heathkit IG-1277 Pulse Generator can generate almost any pulse signal required in a design laboratory, a classroom, a service shop, an inspection and test facility, or in a home hobby shop. Clearly labeled front panel switches and controls ensure easy and fast operation. The pulse generator has a trigger output, a TTL output, and a 50 ? offsettable output.

External trigger input initiates output pulse when threshold is exceeded. Trigger threshold adjustable from -20 V to +20 V. Trigger Delay . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Leading edge of pulse output and trigger output are coincident. Trailing edges are independently variable. Period control sets period of both; Width control sets pulse width; Delay control sets trigger width. Pulse Delay . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Leading edge of pulse is coincident with trailing edge of trigger output. Period control sets period of both; Width control sets delayed pulse width; Delay control sets trigger width and pulse output delay. Square Wave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Pulse Output is 50% of duty cycle, regardless of Width control setting. Period control setting corresponds to half-cycle of square wave; square wave period = 2 X period. Trigger pulse width is independently variable by Delay control. Complement. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Pulse output is the complement at TTL and 50 ohm outputs. Trigger Out remains unchanged.
