The Bonphot PLCS-40 User Manual provides product overview, connection details, operating modes, and technical specifications for the pulse generator.
The PLCS-40 is a pulse generator that can be used as a digital or analog function generator. The manual describes the device’s connectors, power requirements, and how to get started, including connecting the serial interface to a PC or PLB‑21.
Operating modes include digital pulse generation with selectable trigger functions and analog pulse generation with 5 ns step resolution. The document also covers the output stage, trigger modes, jitter performance, ADC capabilities, and electrical characteristics.
| Output amplitude | 6.6 V |
|---|---|
| Load voltage (50 Ω) | 3.3 V |
| Typical jitter (pulse‑to‑pulse) | 250 ps |
| Typical jitter (pulse length) | 250 ps |
| External trigger delay (negative pulse) | 175 ns |
| External trigger delay (positive pulse) | 86 ns |
| ADC resolution | 12 bit |
| Supply voltage input | 15 V |
| 5 V output current limit | 10 mA |
| 12 V output current limit | 50 mA |
Connect the serial lines to a PC or PLB‑21 using connector 6; the device cannot be used without this connection.
The output amplifier can generate a square‑wave amplitude of 6.6 V, which results in 3.3 V across a 50 Ω load.
Typical jitter is 250 ps for both pulse‑to‑pulse variation and pulse‑length variation.
No. Using both trigger inputs simultaneously is not supported and may damage the trigger source.
