The PB-5 sets a new standard for precision pulse generators. It offers full digital controllability with a built-in ramp generator for linearity testing. It provides tail and flat top pulses with outstanding integral linearity and extremely low amplitude change with temperature. The PB-5 is capable of testing the stability, linearity, and resolution of the most demanding spectroscopy circuits and instrumentation. It is the successor to the industry standard, PB-4 pulse generator.
