Page 4: Chapter 2 Description
A buffered output drives 50 Ω load impedances up to 5 V. The PDA10CS2 housing includes a removable threaded coupler (SM1T1) and retainer ring (SM1RR) that is compatible with any number of Thorlabs 1” threaded accessories. This allows convenient mounting of external optics, light filters, apertures, as well as providing an easy mounting mechanism using Thorlabs’... -
Page 5: Chapter 3 Setup
Attach a 50 Ω coax cable (i.e. RG-58U) to the output of the PDA. When running cable lengths longer than 12" we recommend terminating the opposite end of the coax with a 50 Ω resistor (Thorlabs p/n T4119) for maximum performance. Connect the remaining end to a measurement device such as an oscilloscope or high speed DAQ card. -
