The Model 588B Pulse Generator has a powerful set of functions that serve various modes of operations and applications. Both the system timer and the channel timer combine to provide the ability to generate complex waveforms. BNC has the 1U units available for 12 channels or 2U units for 24 channels.

These units provide precision timing and synchronization to effectively trigger any series of events or necessary equipment with up to 36 independent outputs, dual inputs with gate/trigger or optional dual trigger, and external clock reference input.
