  • Notes

  • The General Radio 1217-B is an upgraded and improved version of the earlier 1217-A. The new design makes use of the best features of both tubes and transistors, using each where it performs best.

    The recommended Power Supply is Type 1203-B or 1201-B.

    Pulses are generated internally at repetition rates from 2.5 Hz to 500 kHz, or triggered by external signals from DC to 1 MHz. Positive or negative 40 mA pulses are available simultaneously.
    The rise-time of the main pulse is less then 20 nsec (typically 12 nsec) for all transitions into 50 and 100 Ω loads.
