Hey folks:
I've looked and from what I can see in various catalogs not much is
specificly is mentioned about various function generator's pulse
output. I've inherited (where I work) a Philips PM5134 with a
really nice 0-10 volt pulse signal with a smoothly varying duty
cycle. While sweeping through the duty cycle the low voltage
stays right at ground and the 10 volts stays right at 10 volts.
For the most part it really works well, but a couple of these
things are getting old and (like an old TV) they aren't working
as well as they once did. So what is the successor to the
Philips PM5134. I examined an HP33220A yesterday and the
pulse width varies smoothly, but the high doesn't stay at
it's high (5 volts) and the ground drifts too. Maybe the
thing was trying to convince me it was pushing it's signal
through a capacitor, but I looked for a DC connection in the
menu and didn't find one - so back to the original question -
Anyone have a good line on a successor to the Philips PM5134 ?
Did Philips go belly up ?
If any newsgroup could have an answer, I would imagine it would
be this one - so, thanks in advance.
Warren (aka 2Penny)
