Fluke PM5193 SM
With 10 MHz Sync
50Mhz Function & Pulse Generator
MSRP - $7085.00
The PM 5193 SM offers complete versatility of performance, and a wide array
of features to meet both today's and tomorrow's requirements. Complete in
frequency range, with an exceptional 11 1/2 digit frequency resolution and
setting accuracy of better than 0.1 mHz. Complete in function selection,
with a choice of eight waveforms that include sine, square, ramps and
haversine, plus a built-in pulse generator for positive and negative pulses
with 3 ns transition times. Complete in modulation, with AM, FM, gating and
counted burst with programmable single-shot or continuous operation, and
programmable internal (to 200 kHz) or external modulation. Complete in sweep
facilities, with linear and logarithmic sweep and three sweep modes, which
can be controlled internally (single or continuous) or by an external
trigger. Finally, complete for both bench top or systems applications, with
ten stored setups and full IEEE-488 programmability.
This instrument is clean
and performs flawlessly. There are a few minor scratches on the front
and sides. The unit has the External Synchronization Option (see below
for more details). I also believe the PM5193 has the external video
option (External Video is marked on the front panel). Looking at a
standard PM5193 I do not see this marking.
Wide choice of standard
waveforms
The PM 5193 offers a choice of
eight standard waveform functions. All functions are selectable either
through the front panel or the IEEE-488 interface, with LED indicators to
show at a glance which function is selected. Out-of-range or other invalid
settings are indicated by blinking LED indicators, simplifying use of the
front panel and the bus interface.
Instantly
selectable modulation modes
All required modulation modes are also instantly
available at the touch of a button covering AM, FM, burst and gating. For
sweep you have a choice of linear or logarithmic sweep and a selection of
the required sweep mode ¾ 1, 2, or 3.
Quartz crystal
precision
Today's stringent quality controls require test
procedures to be reproduced exactly ¾ today, tomorrow and next year. The
quartz crystal precision of the PM 5193 gives you the assurance of
reproducible frequency settings within very closely defined limits. Aging
rates for these crystals are less than 1 ppm/year. Coupled with the
negligible setting error (also better than 1 ppm), these generators give you
true long-term reference performance. Frequency resolution is a full 8
digits, providing a maximum frequency resolution of 0.1 mHz. You can take
full advantage of the instrument's high precision.
Precise
frequency programming
The frequency keypad area allows precise programming
of all frequency-related settings, including scale (Hz/kHz) and frequency
steps. These preset frequency steps allow incremental frequency changes with
the step + or - buttons.
Frequency values are programmed via the numeric
keyboard, and input using the Enter key. A rub-out key allows values to be
corrected before entry.
Versatile
output level setting
The desired output levels in Vpp, VRMS
or dBm can be selected by a special keypad, while the selected output
voltage is indicated on the LED display. A step function allows quick
changes in output level in presettable steps.
Specially developed circuitry prevents any
interaction between ac and dc settings. The signal outputs, including a TTL
output, are short-circuit proof.
Full IEEE-488
programmability adds extra versatility
The full IEEE-488 programmability of the PM 5193
adds an important extra dimension to its versatility. All instrument
functions can be remotely activated from a PC or test system controller, and
all settings and status data can be uploaded from the instrument for storage
in the controller and recalled whenever they are required.
Built-in Learn and Identification modes speed and
simplify IEEE programming. In Learn mode, complete strings of instructions
representing front-panel settings can be transmitted to the controller. The
same instrument setup can then be reproduced whenever required, simply by
re-transmitting the same string of instructions.
Setting of the PM 5193's IEEE device address is
performed simply by direct keyboard entry, instead of through the use of
hard-to-reach internal or rear-panel DIP switches.
10 MHz external
synchronization
In many applications where frequency synthesizers
are used, the possibility of synchronizing the outputs of two or more
synthesizers is valuable when you want to have signals of exactly the same
frequency, precisely determined frequency ratios or in locked phase
conditions. The PM 5193 uses the synchronization frequency of 8.6 MHz,
allowing convenient synchronization of two or more of the instruments.
For applications demanding traceability to an
external standard, the PM 5193S generator can be synchronized with external
standards at 10 MHz, or sub-harmonics such as 1, 2 or 5 MHz.
*Video
modulation facilities
The PM 5193V adds video modulation facilities to the
wide range of waveforms and modulation facilities of the standard
instrument. In this version, video modulation is provided by an external
modulation signal, and replaces the AM external modulation mode of the PM
5193.
The carrier frequency can be adjusted precisely up
to 50 MHz, with high accuracy and a maximum resolution of 8 digits.
The PM 5193V has a standard IEEE-488 interface for
remote selection of all keypad functions, making this instrument ideally
suited for automated testing routines on video equipment; for example,
testing the IF units of video recorders and CTV receivers.
