[21] HV-output for the connection of a capacitive coupling clamp or an external 3 phase coupling network. The settable parameters as there are voltage, spike frequency, burst-duration and burst period are displayed on LED-displays. The operation modes of the key functions will be displayed by LED’s in the appropriate switch. Manual SFT 1400 page 7...

"- - - -". The function of the trigger key [5] may be remote controlled via BNC-input: permanent grounding of this TTL-input makes continuous operation. Short time (less than burst period) grounding fires a single burst packet. Manual SFT 1400 page 9...
Burst duration: key [13] • Setting possible from 0,01 ms to 100 ms. Depend on the spike frequency and the burst duration. The Generator SFT 1400 automatically considers the maximum unit's power capability (see chapter 5). The display is off if mode “continous burst” is activated.
The coupling network has no internal fuses, the user has to provide proper fusing for the test object and the coupling network according to its power consumption. Fuse size must not exceed 16 A, see also technical data ch.7. Manual SFT 1400 page 11...
I/O-leads is mostly not possible because this would falsify their signals, therefore coupling is made using the capacitive clamp which couples along a distance of 1 m. The generator SFT 1400 can be connected to both sides of the capacitive clamp SFT 410.
400 MHz. A good solution would be a Tektronix model 7834 with Y-amplifier type 7A26, input terminated with 50 Ω , alternative with a 50 Ω amplifier type 7A19 and Tektronix TDS 680 B. Manual SFT 1400 page 13...
Special functions with the key "special" The special functions of the SFT 1400 can be selected by pressing the key "special" [9]. The yellow LED inside the key displays the mode. All operation-modes are placed sequentially, every press on the key [9] switches to the next function.
If the EUT shows any influence the user will change to the variable test mode according ch. 3.7 to find the details of incompatibility and the exact reasons for this. drawing 5 Manual SFT 1400 page 15...
