Page 5: Introduction
The AV-153B-B will drive load impedances of 500Ω or higher. When supplied with an external voltage input, the AV-153B-B may be used as a DC to 50 kHz variable-gain linear amplifier. The maximum input voltage in this mode is ±2V. -
Page 6: High-Voltage Precautions
HIGH-VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS CAUTION: This instrument provides output voltages as high as ±135 Volts, so extreme caution must be employed when using this instrument. The instrument should only be used by individuals who are thoroughly skilled in high voltage laboratory techniques. The following precaution should always be observed: 1. -

Compliance pertains to the following specifications as... -
Page 9: Installation
INSTALLATION VISUAL CHECK After unpacking the instrument, examine to ensure that it has not been damaged in shipment. Visually inspect all connectors, knobs, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and the handles. Confirm that a power cord, a GPIB cable, and two instrumentation manuals (this manual and the “Programming Manual for -B Instruments”) are with the instrument. -
Page 10: Environmental Conditions
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS This instrument is intended for use under the following conditions: 1. indoor use; 2. altitude up to 2 000 m; 3. temperature 5 °C to 40 °C; 4. maximum relative humidity 80 % for temperatures up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50 % relative humidity at 40 °C;... -
Page 11: Fuses
FUSES This instrument contains four fuses. All are accessible from the rear-panel. Two protect the AC prime power input, and two protect the internal DC power supplies. The locations of the fuses on the rear panel are shown in the figure below: Fuses #1 and #2 Fuse #4 Fuse #3... -
Page 12: Dc Fuse Replacement
DC FUSE REPLACEMENT The DC fuses may be replaced by inserting the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the fuse holder slot, and rotating the slot counter-clockwise. The fuse and its carrier will then pop out. FUSE RATINGS The following table lists the required fuses: Nominal Manufacturer’s Distributor’s... -
Page 13: Front Panel Controls
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. POWER Switch . This is the main power switch. When turning the instrument on, there may be a delay of several seconds before the instrument appears to respond. 2. OVERLOAD Indicator . When the instrument is powered, this indicator is normally green, indicating normal operation. - Page 14 “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” describes the menus and submenus in detail. 6. KEYPAD . Control Name Function MOVE This moves the arrow pointer on the display. CHANGE This is used to enter the submenu, or to select the operating mode, pointed to by the arrow pointer.

Page 15: Rear Panel Controls
4. GATE . This feature is not present on the AV-153B-B. 5. TRIG . When the AV-153B-B is set to operate in the amplifier mode, the externally- generated input signal is applied to this connector. The maximum input voltage is ±2V. - Page 16 The -TNT option uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain its network address. A DHCP server must be present on the local network for the -TNT option to operate properly. 9. AMP Connector . This feature is not present on the AV-153B-B.

Page 17: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION WAVESHAPE SELECTION The front-panel “SHAPE” menu or the “sour:func” computer command can be used to set the output waveform to one of five possible modes: SINE – This mode generates a bipolar sinusoidal signal with 50% duty cycle. TRIANGLE –... -
Page 18: Pulse Generation
PULSE GENERATION The AV-153B-B can also act as a pulse generator, with variable delay between the SYNC output and the main output. In this mode, the pulse width may be varied over a wide range (5 us to 500 ms), and the amplitude may be varied from 0 to +135V. -
Page 19: Dc Offset
This mode is illustrated below: ARBITRARY WAVEFORM, INPUT VOLTAGE, ON , ± 2V MAXIMUM "TRIG" CONNECTOR × GAIN, GAIN = +1 TO +67.5, ADJUSTABLE. OUTPUT VOLTAGE, ON ± 135V MAXIMUM. "OUT" CONNECTOR DC OFFSET In all modes, a DC offset may be added to the output signal. The DC offset can be set between -115V and +115V. -
Page 20: Panb Burst Mode Option
-PANB BURST MODE OPTION The -PANB option allows the generation of a burst of 1-500 cycles of sine, square, triangle, or pulse waveforms. This burst may be triggered by pressing a front-panel pushbutton, or by computer command. Beware that the instrument generates a burst output every time the pulse count (N) is changed (e.g., when the pulse:count command is sent, or when the pulse count is adjusted from the front panel). -
Page 21: Operational Check
OPERATIONAL CHECK This section describes a sequence to confirm the basic operation of the instrument. It should be performed after receiving the instrument. It is a useful learning exercise as well. Before proceeding with this procedure, finish reading this instruction manual thoroughly. - Page 22 4. Turn on the AV-153B-B. The main menu will appear on the LCD. 5. To set the AV-153B-B to trigger from the internal clock at a PRF of 10 kHz: a) The arrow pointer should be pointing at the frequency menu item. If it is not, press the MOVE button until it is.
- Page 23 d) Press CHANGE to return to the main menu. This completes the operational check. If additional assistance is required: Tel: (613) 226-5772 Fax: (613) 226-2802 Email: info@avtechpulse.com...

Page 24: Programming Your Pulse Generator
PROGRAMMING YOUR PULSE GENERATOR KEY PROGRAMMING COMMANDS The “Programming Manual for -B Instruments” describes in detail how to connect the pulse generator to your computer, and the programming commands themselves. A large number of commands are available; however, normally you will only need a few of these. -
Page 25: All Programming Commands
output on (turns on the output) volt 150 (sets the amplitude to 150 V) pulse:count 7 (generates a burst of 7 sine wave cycles) These commands will satisfy 90% of your programming needs.

MECHANICAL INFORMATION TOP COVER REMOVAL If necessary, the interior of the instrument may be accessed by removing the four Phillips screws on the top panel. With the four screws removed, the top cover may be slid back (and off). Always disconnect the power cord before opening the instrument. There are no user-adjustable internal circuits. -
Page 29: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE REGULAR MAINTENANCE This instrument does not require any regular maintenance. On occasion, one or more of the four rear-panel fuses may require replacement. All fuses can be accessed from the rear panel. See the “FUSES” section for details. CLEANING If desired, the interior of the instrument may be cleaned using compressed air to dislodge any accumulated dust. -
