GPIB Interface Card
PI-31000
The Pulse Instruments PI-31000 IEEE Interface Card is a standard GPIB Interface card offered by National Instruments. This interface card is used in applications where the PI-2005 Pattern Generator or other instruments are controlled from a remote system CPU, or it can be used as the system controller when the CompactPCI CPU is the system computer.

Graphical Waveform Editor and Instrument
PI-PAT
Much more than just a visualization tool, PI-PAT is a full-fledged graphical waveform editor that allows you to spend more time testing and less time programming. PI-PAT doesn't require any programming experience or complicated syntax. Just draw or type patterns directly into the pattern window. Move a clock edge by dragging it. Adjust integration times by entering a single number. Change the output to your DUT by clicking the Update button. You'll never have to wrangle DSP or FPGA code with PI-PAT.

Instrument Mainframe
PI-11006
The PI-11006 Instrument Chassis was designed to accommodate the power and noise requirements of some of Pulse Instruments analog instrument cards. These instrument cards, such as the PI-41401, PI-41702 and others supply signal outputs that require more current from the -12 V supply than available in a standard chassis. Therefore this chassis has a larger -12 V power supply that provides 2.5 Amps.

Clock Drivers
Multiple timing signals ("clocks") are required by CCDs, IR FPAs, and some CMOS image sensors to transport electrical charge across the array to a sense amplifier for conversion into image data. Pulse Instruments offers a line of "clock drivers" for generating these timing signals. The parameters of these clocks (clock rate, pulse width, pulse amplitude, rise- and fall-times, etc.) greatly influence the behavior and performance of the imaging device. Our products take logic-level inputs from a p...show more -

Dual Channel Clock Driver Card
PI-41400
The PI-41400 is a dual channel Clock Driver card capable of operating up to 190 MHz into a 50-ohm load and up to 80 MHz at an amplitude of 8 volts into a 1-megohm load. Into a high impedance load the output voltage range is from a –3 volts to 8 volts with the output pulse amplitude ranging from 0.5 V to 9 V. When driving a 50 load the voltage range is –1.5 volts to 4.5 volts with the output pulse amplitude ranging from 0.25 V to 4.5 V. The rise and fall times of the output pulse are variable fro...show more -

Dual Channel Driver Card
40461
Two channels of 8 to 10 MHz drivers (25 V amplitude). The output voltage range is ±25V, with independent high and low voltage settings. The inputs to the Card are optically isolated. The card also contains voltage and current sense capability, which allows muxing of the current or voltage output measurements from all the Driver Channels in the system to a single DVM. The card allows independent programming of the rise and fall time of each channel as low as one nanosecond increments.

Dual Channel, Low-Noise DC Bias Card
PI-41701
The PI-41701 is a dual channel bipolar DC Bias supply that can provide an output current up to 100 mA per channel. The output voltage ranges from –8 V to +8 V and features programmable current limits with LED indicators and software interrupt to show/alert the user if the channel is in current limit. This card has special filter circuitry to reduce the output noise for those applications that require a low noise bias output.
