Pulse Generator Instrument Information
A pulse generator is an electronic device used to produce electrical pulses with specific characteristics such as amplitude, duration, and frequency. In a laboratory pulse generator, the device typically includes adjustable controls to set pulse width, repetition rate, and voltage levels. The generated pulses are then applied to a circuit or device under test to analyze its response.
