BNC-to-BNC cable for the connection to the external triggering source; BNC-to-BNC cable for registering the SYNC OUT pulse. Fig.1. General view of NPG30P11 HV nanosecond pulse generator. Fig.2. Typical output pulse waveform on matched 75 Ohm load at max amplitude.
Place the generator on a stable surface. If you encounter any technical problems with the generator, please contact Megaimpulse Ltd. Do not try to repair the generator by yourself. User manual of NPG30P11 and NPG30N11...

Therefore, FREQUENCY sets the maximum external pulse frequency (minimum pulse-to-pulse interval), and NUMBER OF PULSES sets the maximum number of pulses per second. So, the generator’s control system prevents overloading and damage to the generator in case of improper external triggering. MEGAIMPULSE LTD.
OF PULSES regime. The LED display blinks and indicates the NUMBER OF PULSES without a digital dot. For example, 1 pulse setting is indicated as 0001 1000 pulses setting is indicated as . Press down 1000 User manual of NPG30P11 and NPG30N11...

INT/EXT green push button. BNC-type output connector for SYNC OUT pulses. The front edge of the SYNC OUT pulse precedes the HV output pulse by ~1.2µs. SYNC OUT pulse width is 400 ns and the amplitude is 5V. MEGAIMPULSE LTD.
After the first testing of the generator, it is highly recommended to check whether the tight contact was attained. Unscrew the cable connector. There should be no ozone or burnt smell from the connectors or any burnt traces. User manual of NPG30P11 and NPG30N11...

The temperature of the generator's components becomes high after a long-time operation at a high pulse amplitude and frequency. Allow the idle mode to cool down with the fans for several minutes before turning it off. User manual of NPG30P11 and NPG30N11...
(see Fig.5). So, the external triggering pulse works as an enable signal. The HV pulses are generated continuously while the triggering pulse level is high. This is the simplest way to get externally triggered burst mode. The single pulse mode is possible for the external triggering only. MEGAIMPULSE LTD.

(50 kHz) sets the repetition rate of the output pulses, SYNC OUT (CH2, green line). The burst length, i.e. 25 pulses, is determined by SYNC IN pulse width (CH3, blue line), which works as an enable signal. User manual of NPG30P11 and NPG30N11...
3 V on 50 Ohm load and 5 V on high impedance load, the pulse width is 400 ns. The delay between a rising edge of the SYNC OUT pulse and the HV output pulse is 1.2 µs or less. MEGAIMPULSE LTD.
WARRANTY Please see your sales agreement to determine the warranty period and terms. The generator has warranty seals. Removing the warranty seals terminates the warranty. User manual of NPG30P11 and NPG30N11...
