81104A and 81110A Specifications
Burst count: 2 to 65536 (single or double
pulses).
Delay: Delay, phase or % of period.
Double pulse and delay: Mutually exclusive.
Duty cycle: Set between 0.1% and 95%
(subject to width limits. 99.9% with over-
programming).
Repeatability: Is typ. four times better than
accuracy.
Transition times: leading/ trailing edge
or % of width. Leading and trailing edges
are independent Agilent 81111A/Agilent
81105A) within one of the following
overlapping segments (1:20 ratio):
• 2 ns (3 ns) - 20 ns
• 10 ns - 200 ns
• 100 ns - 2 ms
• 1µs - 20 µs
• 10 µs - 200 µs
• 100 µs - 2 ms
• 1 ms - 20 ms
• 10 ms - 200 ms
Output timing fidelity: Period, delay and
width are continuously variable without
any output glitches or dropouts.
Overprogramming: All parameters of the
Agilent 81110A, except transitions, can
be set to whatever the 330 MHz timing
system will allow. This applies also when
the Agilent 81111A (165 MHz) output
module is used.
