I picked up a Tek 017-086 TD pulser a while back. It is self contained and about twice the size of its GR connector. Power is from 2 internal coin cells. Risetime printed on it is <.2ns (200ps). It turns on automatically when a 50 ohm termination is present. I put it together with a GR to BNCm 50 ohm feedthru termination. Plugs directly into a scope input. Of course it can be put on a probe end with suitable adapters.
No muss, no fuss, no 100 volt input pulses needed.
Does anyone have a manual or data sheet for this pulser? I'm curious about flatness and aberrations. What product family was it intended for? It's faster than most of the pulsers I've seen, except for my Tek 284, and much more convenient.
Regards,
Cliff
