GPIB Interface Card
PI-31000
-
The Pulse Instruments PI-31000 IEEE Interface Card is a standard GPIB Interface card offered by National Instruments. This interface card is used in applications where the PI-2005 Pattern Generator or other instruments are controlled from a remote system CPU, or it can be used as the system controller when the CompactPCI CPU is the system computer.

Instrument Mainframe
PI-11006
-
The PI-11006 Instrument Chassis was designed to accommodate the power and noise requirements of some of Pulse Instruments analog instrument cards. These instrument cards, such as the PI-41401, PI-41702 and others supply signal outputs that require more current from the -12 V supply than available in a standard chassis. Therefore this chassis has a larger -12 V power supply that provides 2.5 Amps.

Dual Channel Driver Card
42460
-
Two channels of 32 MHz clock drivers with up to 20 volt amplitude. The output voltage range is ±20 V, with independent high and low voltage settings. The inputs to the Card can be optically isolated. The card also contains voltage and current sense capability, which allows muxing of the current or voltage output measurements from all the Driver Channels in the system to a single DVM. The card allows independent programming of the rise and fall time of each channel one nanosecond increments.

Dual Channel Clock Driver Card
PI-41400
-
The PI-41400 is a dual channel Clock Driver card capable of operating up to 190 MHz into a 50-ohm load and up to 80 MHz at an amplitude of 8 volts into a 1-megohm load. Into a high impedance load the output voltage range is from a –3 volts to 8 volts with the output pulse amplitude ranging from 0.5 V to 9 V. When driving a 50 load the voltage range is –1.5 volts to 4.5 volts with the output pulse amplitude ranging from 0.25 V to 4.5 V. The rise and fall times of the output pulse are variable from 1.2 ns to 9 ns into a 50-ohm load and <5 ns to 9 ns into a HiZ load. The output pulse amplitude and the load being driven determine the range of variability. The driver output can be set for tri-state operation and the output polarity can be set for ‘Normal’ or ‘Inverted’ operation through software.

Four Channel Low-Noise DC Bias Card
PI-41702
-
The PI-41702 is a four channel bipolar DC Bias supply that can provide an output current up to 100 mA per channel. The output voltage ranges from –8 V to +8 V, and this card has special filter circuitry to reduce the output noise for those applications that require a low noise bias output. Additionally there is a ‘D’ type connector that allows the introduction of laboratory type supplies to reduce the noise further. To change from using the internal power supplies to external power supplies requires repositioning jumpers. The PI-41702 also has voltage and current sense for remote measurement of the voltage and current levels.
