Type 1217-C is a general-purpose [[unit instruments|unit type]] pulse generator, an improved version of Type [[1217-B]] with increased pulse repetition frequency and faster transition times to less than 10 ns. | |||
The 1217-C features a 1.2 MHz PRF internally which doubles to 2.4 MHz with external drive. Other features are front-panel outputs for positive- and negative-going pulses with variable amplitude control. | |||
Pulse duration is continuously variable from 0.1 μs to 1 s in seven ranges. Front panel synchronizing outputs are available for triggering external devices. | |||
The [[1217-P2|1217-P2 Pulse Trigger accessory]] was available for single pulse triggering. | |||
Recommended power supplies are Types [[1201-C]] and [[1203-B]]. | |||
