PM 5193 is a cost-effective multifunctional combination of programmable frequency synthesizer and function generator. The microprocessor control enables simple and rapid operation and allows parameter sets to be stored and recalled. Up to 10 set-ups may be stored in non-volatile registers, each of them containing parameters to set wave form, frequency, amplitude, dc-offset and modulation modes like AM, FM, SWEEP, BURST and GATING. PM 5193 frequency range covers 111/2 decades, from 0,1 mHz to 50 MHz. And to make working with this high precision instrument as simple as possible 8 different wave forms are directly selectable. That includes stadard functions like sine, square wave, sawtooth and ramps, as well as important extras like rectangular pulses — positive and negative — and haversine. Precision and stability are essential factors in this instrument. With a crystal oscillator that serves as a reference standard for all generated frequencies, a high standard of accuracy is achieved. Together with outstanding long-term stability, ensuring that today's signals can always be reproduced precisely. Frequency resolution is 8 digits, so that full advantage can be taken of the instruments high precision, for example in the identification and measurement of phenomena occuring at precisely defined frequencies. IEEE/IEC bus compatibility adds an important extra dimension to PM 5193's versatility. All functions are remotely selectable, and all settings and status data can be transmitted to a remote controller and recalled whenever required. Completing its impressive specification, PM 5193 combines powerful user features with operation that could not be simpler. The front panel is divided into clear, separate keypad areas, and three LED displays show together with the key LEDs frequency, modulation parameters, output level and status. In addition to this manual please find attached an operating/programming card for short-form operating instruction of the instrument. For adequate customer support and in order to facilitate the service, a test program is built in. Service is done on component level, so no complete module must be exchanged.
